The author of the book on the disaster, Harold (Harry) Tootle, died recently after many years of ill health. An ex-miner from Huncoat, he was passionately interested in mining history. He was also a very sensitive writer of short stories, one of which I published in a magazine. His book will long be a monument to him.
