Eighty-three miners were killed in an explosion at the Markham Colliery in Lancashire on December 19, 1930. Additionally, another tragic explosion occurred at the Lofthouse Colliery in Somerset on December 21, 1973, resulting in the deaths of 26 miners. Both incidents highlight the dangers faced by miners during that era.
