At the dawn of the 20th century, in the quiet industrial town of Burnley, three boys—George Ormerod, Joseph Marsh, and Gilbert Alexander—found their joy and adventure in a woodland sanctuary known as Spring Wood.
With shovels and pickaxes in hand, they transformed the woods into their kingdom, building camps and carving small caves to fuel their imaginations.
Their most daring exploits, however, took place within a nearby culvert—a shadowy tunnel where the boys would light fires for warmth and illumination, creating a hideaway from the world above.
But one fateful day in November of 1913, their haven turned into a tomb.
A sudden surge from the stream that coursed through the culvert trapped the boys in its depths. The charcoal fire, meant to light their adventure, instead poisoned the air.
George and Joseph succumbed to suffocation in the toxic smoke, their dreams snuffed out in the darkness. Gilbert was pulled from the tunnel alive but died shortly after, his body unable to overcome the ordeal.
This is their story.
