I never met my grandfather ,as he died in this explosion, every time I watch something about it I feel great emotion, even although I didn’t know him, I will never forget. Rip Fredrick Rees 🙏🙏🙏
My grandfather, Ernest Victor Harding, lost his life aged 51 in the Six Bells Colliery disaster. I never knew him and this fills me with sadness. What a waste of precious life.
I can remember my farther saying to me I new them all he said I can see there faces now he used to work on the flight emptying the slag out of the buckets and driving the bulldozer Cyril watkins . I was to young .but I remember the sadness in the town.Cyril is no longer with us now.Cyril lived in oak street at the time number 18
Great vlog my grand father Bernard cook was a minor but had an accident down the mine and became the lamp man here for many years he lived in arrol street number 78
My grandfather David Mitchell worked at Six Bells, I was born , the first grandson( he had seven daughters) on the 28th of June 1960. I was the first born grandson in the family.
my father was a miner in the Parc and Dare colliery in cwmparc in the Rhondda Valley which was also a Mining community many years ago before the collieries closed for good so we knew the dangers of working in a mine or pit.
