About

Mining disasters such as those at High Blantyre in 1877 or Gresford (1934) are a reminder of the hazards of mining. Work done by Sir Humphry Davy and George Stephenson on the safety lamp will be used to illustrate the problems of taking scientific knowledge out of the controlled environments of the laboratory and putting it to practice use.
