Two benches with cut-out scenes of miners at work in the back rests: men dragging coal, shoring up a tunnel and drilling. They were installed in the Stanrigg Memorial Park shortly after the 101st anniversary of the disaster, which claimed the lives of 19 men and boys on 9th July 1918, when the Stanrigg mine was overwhelmed with an inrush of peat.
