Tomorrow (Sat 15th Jan) marks the 70th anniversary of the Burngrange Mining Disaster in West Calder, the worst accident in West Lothian’s mining history and we have been learning all about that this week. We learned that 15 men died in the explosion and that around half these men were from Seafield. We looked at where the pit was located and the Burngrange Memorial that stands in the square in West Calder. We then created newspaper front overs to report the terrible news. It’s been really interesting finding out about this tragic event. May the men who died rest in peace.
