Fire in the Mine draws together the stories of coalminers from the 1920s to the 1950s to create a touching and emotional journey through an unforgettable multimedia experience. Individual stories are drawn together and told by Marion Curry, the wife of Ned Curry a wheeler employed at the Lithgow State Coal Mine from 1946. Marion’s account culminates in the tragic story of an underground fire in 1953 that took the lives of twenty seven “of the best horses a man could ever have”. You will be moved and inspired by her stories of the men who worked beneath the earth and by the sad fate of the beautiful horses.
