Remarkable events included devastating acts of sabotage committed by Ness Colliery's owners on the neighbouring works, and the introduction of underground canals to haul coals deep under the Dee Estuary where most of the mining occurred. Figures as diverse as the engineer George Stephenson and Nelson's future mistress Emma, Lady Hamilton are part of the mines' story.
