The Spirit of Haswell
Originally uploaded by she_who_must.
The old winding house stands dramatically alone among the fields, and sheltering within it is this memorial to the 95 men and boys killed in an explosion at Haswell Colliery on 28th September 1844. A blast in the Little Pit killed 19 boys and 76 men; 4 miners survived.
