The incident at Hateley Heath Colliery on November 17, 1863, was a fatal accident where two men lost their lives by falling down the pit shaft, not an explosion.
Details of the incident:
Date: November 17, 1863.
Location: Hateley Heath Colliery (an ironstone mine) in West Bromwich, Staffordshire.
Company: T. Millership.
Cause: The men fell down the pit shaft.
Lives Lost: 2.

While several colliery explosions occurred in 1863 in other locations, such as the Coxlodge Colliery explosion in March and the Wynstay Colliery explosion in July, the event at Hateley Heath was specifically recorded as a shaft accident.
