| Title | Wingfield Manor Colliery accident record book |
| Date | 11 May 1932-5 May 1939 |
| Description | The book was printed up for Morton Colliery in the heading, but on the first five pages "The Wingfield Manor Colliery Co. Ltd." has been stamped in its place. It is evident that the record book continued to be used for Wingfield Manor rather than Morton. The Clay Cross Company (which ran Morton Colliery) had taken over the Wingfield Manor Colliery in 1920, and presumably improvised rather than producing a new accident book specifically for Wingfield Manor.
Columns for running number, name of injured person, address, occupation, age, date and hour of accident, place of accident, cause and description of accident, nature of injury (never used), place to which injured person removed, by whom reported to colliery company, date of report, average weekly earnings, date returned, compensation paid, witness of accident and remarks.
