In affectionate remembrance of WILLIAM beloved son of WILLIAM & ELIZABETH CHARLTON who was killed at Chester Moor Colliery June 12th 1896 aged 14 years Also the above WILLIAM CHARLTON who died December 11th 1917 aged 65 years Also ELIZABETH wife of the above who died March 9th 1922 aged 76 years Comment

Durham Miners Web site:- No. 275 on the list occurred at Chester South Moor Colliery, belonging to the owners of Waldridge Collieries, causing the death of a driver. WILLIAM CHARLTON

The deceased boy was waiting at a siding at the bottom of an incline for a full set, which another driver had gone in by to bring out, to take it towards the shaft. The other driver had removed the chock in the full way at the flat at the top of the incline, and set three tubs away which came amain down the incline, and when they got to deceased he attempted to stop them but was knocked down and afterwards found under the first tub quite dead.

This accident was caused by the other driver removing the chock, which he should not have done, as it was no part of his duty to do so, a lad being kept at the flat to attend to the chocks, and arrange the sets, and, apart from this, he was wrong in moving it before his pony was attached to the tub.

Stone is marked with sap from the tree above See A330 Chester Chronicle 06/12/1918:- On Monday a distressing fatal accident occurred at Waldridge Fell whilst some little children were playing amongst some stationary trucks in a siding which resulted in the death of Edward Watkin aged 11 years of Olive Street the son of Mr Wm. Watkin a coal hewer employed at the colliery. How the accident actually occurred remains a mystery as it was not observed by anyone but it is assumed that the brake on the wagon by which this child met its death was by some unexplained means suddenly released. This caused it to move and the child’s head was caught between it and another wagon and was killed instantly. Mr J. Graham DI held an inquest on Tuesday in the manager’s office when a verdict of accidental death was returned.
