Description
This is a monument located to the south of the Cemetery Chapels in Clay Cross, built in 1884. It is made of stone and features a stepped plinth with a pedestal base. The monument has inset cusped panels with inscriptions on three sides. The south face commemorates the forty-five men and boys who lost their lives in an explosion at Park House Pit in Clay Cross on November 7th, 1882, and notes that it was erected by their fellow workmen and the public in 1884. The names of the deceased are inscribed on the west and east sides. Above the pedestal is a tall quatrefoil pillar with a gableted base and a band of ballflower decoration. The pillar is topped with a foliate capital and a weeping woman figure made of white marble. This monument is included for its group value.
