    • Harry died in an accident at Wharncliffe Woodmoor Colliery. The disaster at Wharncliffe Woodmoor colliery claimed 58 lives and devastated the local community. It was the last major colliery disaster in South Yorkshire, and the worst in modern times. It was caused by an explosion of gas from the Lidgett Seam on the morning of 6 August 1936. The Lidgett Seam which was just over two feet thick and was reached by drifts from the Haigh Moor Seam which was 34 yards above. The explosion occurred during the latter part of the night shift, at about 3.20am, when men were involved in repair work and making preparations for the day shift. SOS messages were sent out immediately to neighbouring collieries and six rescue teams arrived. These were from Woolley, Barnsley Main, Barnsley Rescue Station, North Gawber, Monckton Main and the rescue team from Wharncliffe Woodmoor. Rescue workers were hindered by falls of roof. Five canaries taken down the pit died. The Old Green Road School, Carlton was used as a temporary morgue with nurses standing by. The Vicar of Carlton Rev. N. King, Rev. E.F Owen Vicar of Staincross and Canon W.C Hudson of the Holy Rood Catholic Church, Barnsley offered the crowd spiritual comfort by conducting prayers in the pit yard. There is a list of the victims here.
