The South Moor Heritage Trail website could not have been produced without the key help of Anita Carroll.

Anita is a resident of Quaking Houses whose own Great Uncle, Samuel Ward was a miner killed during WWI.

Following painstaking research Anita has brought together details of hundreds of South Moor and Quaking House miners which form a large part of this website and we are extremely indebted to her for her work.

The depth of Anita’s research can be shown by the list of sources she acknowledges:
