As reported in the Manchester Evening News, 05 May 1948:
On the 2nd May 1948 a couple of young lads were exploring West Mine on Alderley Edge when one of them, 13-year old Leslie Hunt, fell down a 50' shaft and was killed.
At the subsequent inquest, the Coroner said: "Boys will still search for adventures even in these days. I think that it's a very good and proper thing that we still have adventurous types in the rising generation, and anything that makes for a free and open life I am in favour of."
