Dysart Trust volunteers are hoping members of the public may be able to help solve a double mystery discovered while preparing for their summer exhibition of local history.

Volunteers mounting the exhibition, which is open at the Town Hall in Dysart on Sunday afternoons, found a photograph in the archives of a Dysart Coal Queen crowned by the National Union of Mineworkers many years ago, as well as her ‘royal’ sash.

However, there were no details about the girl’s identity or the date of her coronation.

The Trust are keen to find out who she was and how and when her photograph were donated to the organisation.
