Hi
Just found your site, my grandfather was in the pit crash in 1958 his name was John Garrett I have all photos and newspaper cuttings from when it happened. He always told me that he had a feeling that day from when he got out of bed that something was going to happen. He had severe leg injuries and worked in the stores at Brookhouse for the rest of his working career. I have loads of photos of Brookhouse when the miners had to use a boat to get to work when Beighton flooded. I’ll find them out and scan them for you if you want them.
Thanks Andy
