"There is at Aberdare nothing like the excuse there is in other places for children to run about and to get into danger, for there are more open spaces in the town than in any other town I know of." These words accompanied a verdict of "Accidental death" at an inquest which Mr. R.J. RHYS held at Aberdare on Monday into the circumstances of the death of David Sydney COLLINGS 10, son of Mr. Sydney Frederick COLLINGS, wagon painter, of Wern-row, Gadlys, who died in the hospital from injuries received at the disused brickworks at Gadlys. The evidence showed that the boy and other youngsters went to play at the brickworks, and COLLINGS, while leaning against some masonry, fell a distance of about 6ft. and was struck by portions of the material. He met with severe injuries, including a fractured pelvis. It transpired that notices warning persons against trespassing were posted up and the boys had been previously warned to keep away. The Coroner, in recording the verdict, said that the lads were really trespassing.
