Colliery Disaster (Adventures Through Time)
About this episode
The Black Country was famous for coal mining back in the day!
But working in the mines wasn't just a pretty horrible job because it was so hard, dark, and dirty work; it was also really dangerous.
You could be crushed by falling rock, suffocate on gasses, or be caught up in an explosion if any flammable gases caught on fire.
In this episode of 'Adventures Through Time' we learn all about the famous Rounds Green Colliery Explosion that happened in 1846.
