Northumberland / Re: New Hartley Pit Disaster 1862
« on: Wednesday 12 August 09 21:32 BST (UK) »
I was looking for headstones, 2 weeks ago, in Earsdon. I had read about how bad it was, but thought it can't be 'that' bad. Well it was worse. I think it's shameful to allow our history to decay like that.
I tripped and fell into a colapsing grave, a very scary moment.
I couldn't even find my GGrandfathers grave. I knew where abouts it was as that it was boardered and had green gravel. This I remembered from my childhood.
Anyway my next step is to find out the plot number somehow and have the grave resored.
I drove away very sad and very disappointed. I only get back up to the north once a year.
