A Leicestershire housebuilder has helped honour the memory of 35 miners who lost their lives in a coalmining accident more than a century ago.
The bodies of 12 of the men were never recovered following the Whitwick Mining Disaster, on April 19, 1898.
Some 42 men were working in Number 5 Pit at Whitwick Colliery, when an underground fire broke out, cutting off both their air and means of escape.
