Princess Colliery Disaster Monument

02

This brick-based pulley system serves as a memorial for all the miners killed during the Princess Mine disaster in 1938 and was completed and unveiled in 1990. It is positioned at the site previously occupied by the colliery and has been designed to resemble the entrance to a mine shaft. 

Twenty-one people were killed by the Colliery Disaster, with an additional sixty-one being injured. This monument symbolizes reflection and respect for all those affected by this horrific event.
