Hi Val I have a book'Bridge Across the Century' The story of the Forth Bridge. It is fascinating. One section titled 'The cost of mens lives' states that the building of the bridge cost a total of 57 lives. It also states "The grim toll was coldly recorded in the Board of Trades Reports" as follows. Some of the dates have details. June 1887 -3 deaths August 1887 -7 deaths. November 1887 -8 deaths August 1888 -4 deaths November 1888 -6 deaths August 1889 -1 death September 1889 -1 death November 1889 -4 deaths An adage to the bottom of the page "the Hawes Inn flourishes too well for being in the middle of our works, its attractions prove irresistible for a large proportion of our 3000 men. The accident ward adjoins the pretty garden with hawthorns, and many dead and injured men have been carried there, who would have escaped had it not been for the whisky of the Hawes Inn." Benjamin Baker 1887 If you would like any information regarding the deaths let me know. Regards Rena McKenzie
