Does anyone have access to the Salford City Reporter's Archives ?
Am looking for a relative who was supposedly killed in an explosion (possibly on the Railway) circa 1902/3

Hi, Mobo,
I don't have access but I emailed Bucks Archives to find a newspaper report on an inquest and got the information I required.
Have you tried this? I got my address from Genuki.
It's worth a go. It didn't cost me either, although I was willing to pay.
Good luck.
regards, Olly :)

Yes Olly, wrote to the Salford Local History Library - but without an exact date they were unwilling to check the archives owing to shortage of staff !!
Thanks anyway

I have a book on Salford history based on items from the Reporter. Couldn't see anything from 1902/3, but it's not comprehensive.
Don't know if either of these are worth looking at:
4 Aug 1906 - Explosion at Pendleton Colliery killed 2 men
12 Jan 1907 - Huge fire beneath Exchange Station

THANKS FOR THAT SKB - WILL LOOK INTO THESE TWO POSSIBILITIES
CHEERS
