Memorial to the Waterloo Colliery Disaster Memorial to the Waterloo Colliery Disaster of 30 June 1949 <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7339405">SO6114 : Detail of the Waterloo Colliery Disaster Memorial</a>, on that day the pit was flooded when a breach was made into the water-filled workings of East Slad Colliery.
