Pwllgwaun Colliery accident c 1925 GARMSTON, James
« on: Tuesday 03 March 15 12:18 GMT (UK) »
I'm looking for any further information about my grandfathers leg amputation that occurred in about 1925. I know that the available newspapers online go to 1919, so I can't search 1925.

My gf would have been about 9 when he lost his leg on the winding gear. He was born on Lanwern Rd, so I am assuming that the nearest colliery Dan's Muck Hole would have been the colliery. He survived the accident so it is not listed in mining accidents or disasters. He clearly would have required hospitalization but again I'm drawing a blank as to how to find out any further information.

Can anybody help or assist in suggesting further steps? Unfortunately all surviving relatives have since died who could provide further information.

Thanks for reading, hope you can help!
