Martin's Handwritten Notes were contributed by his Grandson, Ernie Guy, Member of Washington History Society.

My Grandfather's handwritten notes are not a complete account of the Usworth Disaster Enquiry.
A complete record is available from Official Sources and a detailed record of the causes
of the explosion can be found on the Durham Mining Museum website.
