Terror In The Dark: The Springhill Mine Disasters
The coal mines in Springhill fueled the community's economy. At its height, there were 8,000 residents, 1,600 of which worked in the mines. The mines also brought tragedy and death over the years. Three times, in 1891, 1956 and 1958, the coal mines killed dozens in explosions and mine collapses.
