Huskar Colliery Memorial

The Huskar Colliery incident was a tragic and deadly event that occurred at a mining location where young children worked. The incident caused 26 children to lose their life, and this image depicts the memorial at Huskar Colliery that is meant to honor the children who should've never been in that mine in the first place. It is extremely unfortunate that those children had to lose their lives in order for change to begin happening, but of the incident came the The Mines and Collieries Act of 1842 aimed at keeping young children from working in mines.
