Synopsis

The theme of bereavement has a particular resonance for Easington Colliery. One day in May 1951, just as the night shift was leaving and the early morning shift arriving, there was a large underground explosion. Families and friends gathered at the pit gates, and gradually the news emerged that eighty-one miners and two rescue workers had died. The last body was not brought out for over a fortnight.
