My great great grandmother's first husband,Joseph Platt born Harwood, died in a pit accident, when a piece of coal fell on him. The date was 5.3.1852 and the place was Warm Hole Pit, Kearsley. I have never come across this pit before and wondered if anyone on the list knows exactly where it was. I have been unable to find anything about it. On the 1851 Census, Joseph Platt and Alice (nee Lomax born Affetside,) were living, at what looks like Goor, Tyldesley. I have been unable to find this address on a map. Also, would someone living in Tyldesley be likely to work at a pit in Kearsley? Anne in Bolton.
