Colliery disaster At 14:40 on 16 February 1882 the Trimdon Grange colliery suffered a major explosion causing the deaths of 69 men and boys. The coroner (TW Snagge) reported to both houses of Parliament: * The mine was a dusty mine and watering should have been daily but it was done "not in all places, but where it was absolutely necessary." * The mine was not "more than ordinarily gassy", but there is some evidence that the identified points of leakage might have been points of accumulation from leaks elsewhere. * The lamps in use were Davy pattern and naked lights called "midgies" in some areas.

Trimdon Labour Club
Trimdon Labour Club was a bar and local branch of Sedgefield Labour Party in the village of Trimdon, County Durham in England. It opened in 1993, as a conversion of a former Working Men's Club. It was the local Labour Club of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who lived in nearby Trimdon Colliery. History Trimdon Labour Club opened in its former state as a Working Men's Club in 1919, serving beer to mineworkers from a barrel in a farmer's cottage. It fell into disrepair in the 1980s, before the local Constituency Labour Party took on the running of the club. It was opened in its repurposed state in 1993 by former Labour Leader Neil Kinnock, with the help of a £350 loan from Sedgefield Labour Party.

He succeeded, replacing John Smith, who had died suddenly of a heart attack. Rise to fame In 1997, Tony Blair became Prim ...
