Thornhill Community Mining Memorial

We are a community group wanting to install a memorial in Thornhill Rectory Park Dewsbury , to remember the 139 men and boys who tragically lost their lives in an explosion in the Combs pit.

This project has reached its fundraising target. It has also activated Continuous Fundraising, which means you can still donate and support the project.
