Accident, Wirksworth c.1911
The traction engine is trying to pull a trailer upright on
Cromford Hill, west of Cromford. A Fairground traction engine
with 3 trailers ran away down Cromford Hill and overturned,
but nobody was killed. A crowd of people are watching the
proceedings. There should be an article about the accident
in the local paper.
