This report appeared in the Manchester Guardian dated 4th March 1925. It is an inquest into the death of 14 year old John Wilson at Vickers Steelworks in Sheffield
An horrendous end to such a young life. An accidental death was the verdict of the jury which the coroner concurred with but reading the report I get the impression that this accident could so easily have been prevented, If only the chief engineer had "considered earlier" John may not have been decapitated
It took a bit of finding but John is buried in Sheffield's Tinsley Park Cemetery
