Hi

I think it's No 9 Smithfield, Coal Pit,  Clackmannan

The S is only partly visible.  Different S than the one above though.

I cant find record of him on Scottish mining I see hes of no fixed abode died in poorhouse and he was a labour not miner. would there have been newspaper report about him ?

No - I've been looking too 

Could it be that he was above ground and in the vicinity rather than it being a Mining accident per se 

There might be newspaper reports. My grt grandfather was killed by being crushed by a tub at the pit bottom in 1904 and there were two newspaper  reports on his death.

I've just found a Southfield Mine under Clackmannan:

and under Stirlingshire in 1893:

And now I look at it, it is Southfield

Thanks for tthe links  Gadget
like you I think he was above ground. Im wondering why he had no place to live as all his family lived in clackmanan his wife died 1889 so it just him

would he have been classed as homeless even if living in poorhouse?
