In the early 20th century, William Garforth's determination to improve the safety of his employees was crucial to the development of the underground safety and rescue procedures that are taken for granted by today's miners. Using first hand accounts of the men and women involved and rare original photographs, Bryan Fraser provides a detailed account of how Garforth, with his wife Mary, revolutionized mining from his base in one small Yorkshire village - Altofts, which is now part of Normanton.
