_____ OVERBALANCED AND


FELL 1 0 0 FEET FROM ROOF TO HIS DEATH


A 28-YEAR-OLD Sheffield steel erector, who had been employed at Clitheroe, apparently overbalanced and fell through a roof 100 feet to his death, it was stated


•at an inquest held on Friday, at Clitheroe Town Hall. The East Lancs Coroner, Mr. George Graham, told the jury that there was


'no apparent reason why the workman, who had been working in Clitheroe for three .months, should have fallen.


The inquest was on Alan Jones, of Dykevale Crescent, ^


Hackenthorpc, Sheffield, who was . working tor a. firmi of contractors on the roof of a crushing plant at Ribblesdale Cement Ltd., on Sunday, November 20. Robert Wood, steel erector


,jn chief, of Dryden Drive, Sheffield, said that he and ■Mr. Jones were fixing asbes­ tos sheets to the rooL “We were working just


\


below the apex of the roof on cat ladders. These were


; fastened with wire rope lashings. The last time I saw him he was kelt on the


■ ladder. I did not see him fall,” he added. Mr. Wood said that the ;deceased was a careful and experienced worker. He knew ;bf no reason why he should ■have fallen through the roof. 1 Questioned by Mr. R. C. W. Bennett, for the company, ;Mr. Wood said he had been engaged in this type of work for more than. 18 years and that this was the first acci- dent-of its type of which he had heard. ,,"Thc ladders were soundly constructed and the . one on which Mr. Jones was forking was still in position after the'accident, f' Mr. David Millar, an elec trician of Pembroke Place, Chorley, said that he was


working on a crushing plant crane above the ground when he heard a crash. He looked down and saw a man lying across some girders. PC Keith Jones said that


he visited the scene shortly after the accident. Mr. Jones was lying face downwards on a pile of me t a l girders directly below a hole in the roof. The roof was 95 feet high.


Dr. C. K. Helfernan said


that death was caused by multiple injuries, consis­ tent with a fall from a con­ siderable height. He could find 1,0 evidence to sug­ gest that Mr. Jones might have had a dizzy spell. The widow, Mrs. Kathleen


Jones, said that she last saw her husband alive about 5-30 am on the morning of the accident. He was in good health. He was the father of two


young children, the eldest of whom is only a year old. The Coroner said that the


ladders. we r e adequately secured and th'-at there

yet another valuable gift from Clitheroe Youth Action Group last week when one of the group’s youngest members, 13-year- old Bernard Marsden, handed over a wheelchair worth more than £30. It was received by the


Matron, Miss Vera Johnson, who thanked the group and said that a wheelohair was something much needed at the hospital. Mr. S. Ragnall, administra­


tive officer, said that the chair would be most valuable, especially as it could be folded small enough to be put into a car. He added that :the amount


of money being raised" for good causes in the town by such small groups of young people was amazing.' In the past the group have presented the hospital with a


summer houae and Clitheroe SJAB with a kiss-of-life demonstration dummy. Bernard Marsden and the


matron are seen in the centre of the photograph with other Youth Action Group mem­ bers. .
