Dave Cherry the Barnsley singer and social history film maker continues with his films about the old lost pits of Barnsley.
Here he concentrates on the two disasters of Wharncliffe Silkstone in 1914 and Norcroft in 1821.
He teams up with Peter Clarney who has done a study of the 1914 gas explosion at Wharncliffe Sikstone or Pilley pit.
He then meets David Hinchliffe, an ex Wakefield Labour MP.
His ancestor was an 8 year old boy called John Hinchliffe who was killed at Norcroft near Cawthorne when the lift cage fell down the mine shaft.
