Subject: - Looking for 2nd inquest, Diglake Flooding 1895, took place in the 1930s
Subject: - Who owns the Diglake Colliery and Boyles Hall Colliery?
Subject: - How do they make sure old shafts are safe?

I have less time than ever for research - but I still have many unanswered questions! The more you know the more you want to know, I guess. For instance:-

I have no copy of the second inquest which took place in the 1930s, I presume a similar report would have been issued but I have never been able to find any trace of it.
I am also curious to know who owns the Diglake Colliery and Boyles Hall Colliery land now.
How do they make sure old shafts are safe (or don't they)?

All the best
