==Disaster==
Opened in 1893 the Cadeby pit was owned by the Denaby and Cadeby Colliery Company, 5,000 men worked in Cadeby and at the related Denaby pit.〔 The King and Queen had been visiting mining villages in the area so the number of men below ground was less than usual following celebration the day before.〔 Only about 200 men were in the pit when an explosion occurred at about 02:00, in the direct area of the explosion 35 men were killed.〔 News of the disaster soon spread around Conisbrough and district and women and children rushed to the pit head.〔 Men who were not at work also turned up to help with the rescue but nothing could be done at first due to the fear of afterdamp.〔
Soon volunteers entered the pit to search for bodies and these rescue teams were hampered by heavy falls of coal and stone and by 08:00 only six bodies had been brought to the surface.〔 Further explosions occurred while the rescue team were at work killing some of the rescuers.〔 A further 53 men were killed in the later explosions including W.H. Pickering the Chief Government Inspector of Mines for Yorkshire and the North Midlands and Charles Bury the manager of the colliery who died the following week from his injuries.〔
