@scotsclaire My great grandfather was also one of the men rescued! Robert Ure. We haven't 100% set a date yet but I think it will be Saturday the 23rd of September. The Free Colliers will march round the local area then onto the Redding Cross for the new memorial. Hope to see you there

A dedicated local group are raising funds to build a memorial to commemorate those who lost their lives in the Redding pit disaster in 1923.

A tragic event in our town's history I think it is important to make sure we never forget.

@DebbieCrerar @NatMiningMuseum Hi Debbie, do you still have these? We are having a few events this year for the 100th anniversary of the pit disaster and we have never been able to trace anyone with one of the handkerchiefs

#OTD 1923 One of Scotland's worst colliery disasters took place at the Redding Colliery, near Falkirk. No. 23 pit was inundated by water from old workings as a wall collapsed at 5.00am, claiming 40 lives.
