    Great Video. Interesting fact - Residents of "The promenade" (Off mill street) were so miffed off with the mining in the area, they clubbed together and bought the mining rights off the Earl of Dudley for the ground under their homes and then vowed never to mine it - Hence why the Brierley Hill flats were built where they are - There are no shafts underneath them to produce possible subsidence.

    My 3x Great-grandfather was George Skidmore, I only found out about him and this disaster through doing my family history. It's really surreal to be able to watch this and see a photo of him. Thank you for this brilliant content.

    One of these men was my great great grandfather, John Handley, Ive seen the name Hanley used instead of Handley at times, my father and his father, were both called John Handley
