An dreadful accident on the 5th November , claimed the lives of two workers. There is a memorial stone in St Johns church yard with the following inscription. In affectionate remembrance of Thomas Coates aged 20 years and William Elliott aged 27 years, who departed this life on the 5th November Both killed at No 1 shaft Clayton Tunnel, caused by the neglect of the man in charge of the engine.
Take warning of our sudden death, make ready to follow us into the earth, we tell you, watch and pray. The inquest heard that shafts had been sunk into the tunnel to expedite the work. Over the mouth of the shafts had been erected a timber scaffolding. On the top of this was a head gear and a pulley, four feet in diameter, over which a rope was passed. The rope was attached to an engine some 10yds from the mouth of the shaft. A large tub was attached to the other end of the rope which was used to lower and raise workmen and rubble.
The tub rested on a trolley which could be run back, when raising and lowering of the tub was required. At six o,clock in the morning, foreman Henry Hickman gave orders for the day shift to go down and relieve the night shift. Accordingly, four men climbed into the tub, but before the tub could be lowered the tub had to be raised a little to enable the trolley to be moved.
The engine man was ordered to raise the tub, the trolley was moved, and the order was given to lower, but either by mistake or carelessness the engine gears had not been engaged in the lowering position.
Instead of lowering, it drew the tub over the headgear and backwards over the pulley. Thomas Coates was thrown out of the tub and fell ft to his death at the bottom of the shaft.
