On Sunday Mark Fletcher joined residents of Creswell for a memorial service to mark the 70th anniversary of the Creswell Pit Fire, in which 80 men lost their lives.
Mark said
“It was an honour to join this incredibly moving service to commemorate the 80 victims of the Creswell Pit Fire, seventy years ago. The men who lost their lives in that fire were brothers, husbands, fathers, sons and friends. We remembered them on Sunday, and the devastating impact those events had on future generations. May they Rest In Peace.”
