I learned about this incident from my mother as 4 members of my family were involved in the incident. 3 died and one survived becoming my ancestor. Thanks for sharing the story.
Catherine hits it on the hat again, her knowledge and enthusiasm is to be cherished. Thanks for sharing our social history. I am happy to be born in the 20th Century, the world is much improved, but still not perfect.
What troubles me is some of the parental reactions. On the one hand, it was their children who died which must have affected them greatly, on the other, those same children were making an important contribution to the family's financial well being which would have been lost after the reforms. How moral is a society that forces many parents to send their children into dangerous work just to survive, when the privileged minority is sending theirs to school?
Great video and tragic story. A relative of mine died in this disaster - Sarah Newton, she is on the memorial.

Damn this channel is an absolute hidden gem thank you for uploading the brilliant content.
What disgrace. The bad old days. From Canada.
English labor statutes are fascinating, thank you
As always, well done and thought-provoking... Many of our current rights and privileges are based on someone else's tragedy.
I find the pit head very intense and feel very sad about the disaster x
It can be hard to maintain a hopeful or positive out look to be sure.

Excellent video. I recommend Victoria's Children of the Dark by Alan Gallop for more on the Huskar Pit disaster.
Fabulous love your videos
