The Mold Riots 1869

The Leader have an article by Rob Bellis on the Mold Riots. Miners were that mad at a mines manager called Young who was lowering their wages that they marched him from Leeswood to Penyffordd Station where he was bundled on a train to Mold.

The resultant riot saw soldiers firing shots into a rioting crowd which claimed lives.
