to Ian Winstanley's site that some other lister gave you. Only trouble the
site owner has some serious illness in his family and so isn't available but
do go to..

Subject: [Bla'Gwent] Black vein colliery explosion
The three brothers of my gggrandfather James Banfield of Machen were
killed
in a pit explosion at Black Vein Colliery Cross Keys, I believe about
1889.
Does anyone have any information on this tragedy, please?
Regards
Alan
