A new book's being published to mark the 125th anniversary of the Snaefell Mine Disaster.

In May 1897 the mine was the scene of a disaster.

Twenty miners died when an underground fire filled with carbon monoxide gas.

Now a new book written by Andrew Scarffe will tell the full story with previously unshown pictures.

It's published by Laxey and Lonan Heritage Trust.
