Whittle Pit
I'm after picking the brains of you Whittle men out there. My brother in law recalls helping to recover the body of a Jimmie Henderson? killed by a stone fall in the roadway at Whittle. He mentioned there was a particular type of stone in the roof, almost multi coloured, that formed an arch, but which fell with hardly any warning sound. He's a bit hazy on the date but puts it in the 1960s.
This death isn't on the Durham Mining memorial so any help or information gratefully received.
