Pretoria Pit Disaster, 21/12/1910. Talk by Garth Ratcliffe

The dark winter morning of 21st December 1910 saw the Pretoria Pit Disaster, located on the Hulton Estate between Westhoughton and Atherton, (then in) Lancashire in the north-west of England. With the loss of 344 lives, this was the third-worst mining disaster in British history. This is an illustrated presentation by Garth Ratcliffe of Westhoughton Local History Group. It tells the events which occurred that morning, the rescue effort and subsequent changes in the industry. He also talks about his family connection and personal interest in the event.
