Remembering Maltby's mining disaster

PUPILS placed homemade lamps on the grave of the unknown miner as Maltby marked the anniversary of its 1923 pit disaster.
Youngsters, mostly from Crags Community School, crafted the tributes from drinks cans and tin foil for a march to Grange Lane cemetery.
The event followed a service earlier in the day at the Limekiln Lane memorial to the disaster, which claimed the lives of 27 Maltby miners.
