This cache has been placed in memorium to the people who died or were injured in the crash and in tribute to the rescue workers and miners from the local Manvers pit who arrived first on the scene to give aid when the London to Bradford train overturned down a 30 foot embankment.
The Doctor Campbell who attended the crash site was a good friend of our family and was my Grandfathers best man at his wedding. As part of his practice he was regularly called to Manvers Colliery to treat the injured and on the 18th May 1948 was called in to treat the injured in the derailment.
