Is anyone aware of an accident that occurred at the Princess Royal Colliery around 1930. My grandfather, Amos Preest, was badly injured at the pit and was off work for approximately one year. When he returned to the pit he had to work above ground, doing light duties only. Unfortunately, he passed away in 1942 at the age of 59, possibly as a result of the injuries he had sustained in the accident.
