Explosion At Choppington Colliery


Recommended Posts

I just lost a story that I spent a half hour typing in,about a bad accident  on a face at Choppington B pit,in around 1963,where a cutterman called Jimmy Prime was badly injured after being crushed by his coalcutter which danced oot from the cut and squeezed the life oot of him after it pushed him up against a hydraulic face chock.

He miraculously survived and recovered after a hospital stay.

A real canny fella was Jimmy.

Any relation to you James neil?..if he is still with us,he might remember young Wilma wi thi lang hair and played the geeuuu-gaa!!

I too have been caught by the Forum's word thief in the distant past.   If I intend to write anything long here now I create it in Word (or any free text editor will do) then copy & paste it to here;  if anything goes wrong here then the original is safe in the text editor or has been saved elsewhere.  Mind, I tend not to write reams any more so just work 'live and dirty' here and run the risk (a bit like unsafe sex ... ).
