@famouswelshminds.bsky.socialAt 8:10 a.m. on 14 October 1913, an explosion tore through the Universal Colliery at Senghenydd. Of around 950 men on the day shift, 439 miners were killed, including eight boys. It remains Britain’s deadliest mining disaster.
How should Wales remember mining disasters?
