Trapped underground after an explosion, can Ben, Harry, William and
Sally find a way out of this devilish place or will it be their
last resting place. Worsdale Mine in Yorkshire owned by Lord
Greenbarugh employed 350 men, women, boys and girls some as young
as 7 years of age. The mine only some 240 yards deep, being
entirely lit by candles was not considered dangerous because it was
well ventilated naturally by air being drawn into the mine through
number '2' shaft which had no headgear and was situated on the hill
500yards from the main number '1' shaft. The miners were lowered
underground by means of a cage suspended by ropes over the headgear
and powered by a horse gin. At the time of the disaster there were
approximately 150 workers underground.
