Event Info
The Oaks Colliery Disaster killed 383 men and boys in two explosions on 12th and 13th December 1866. It was the worst mining disaster in Victorian Britain and remains the worst in English history. On the 150th anniversary of the disaster we remember those who paid the ultimate price for coal.
The exhibition focuses on the human stories of the disaster. Who was involved, how did it affect families and communities and what was the legacy of the disaster.
A range of events will run alongside the exhibitions, see our ‘What’s On’ page for details.
