Does anyone on this list know either Tom Watson or Ken Styler, both of the
Hamstead Miners Memorial Fund (http://members.lycos.co.uk/hamsteadminers/)?
They have developed a small site to commemorate the disaster of 1908 but the
text used to describe the event appears to have been copied directly from my
site.
Despite several e-mails to the contact address they have failed to reply or
to acknowledge the source of the information.
My sources are a combination of Mines Inspectors reports, 'The Entombed' by
Jack Boddington and a contribution from Peter Appleton and my site
acknowledges all of these.
I am happy for anyone to copy or quote from my site but do ask that the
source is acknowledged.
If anyone knows Tom or Ken I would appreciate if this message could be got
to them - I do not want to be a killjoy but we should all work together.
