Plot:
Blind Dianne Hart was made a servant when her cousin, Ralph Stone, inherited her late father’s coal-mine. She was horrified when Stone brought in orphans and made the youngest of them work a night-shift underground. She decided on a rescue attempt, hoping to get them to a secret hide-out where three others were already concealed.

Is that Bert Hill’s art?
I think it is, don’t usually see him doing period stories (other than Rosie’s Revenge)
He did a couple with “A Switch in Time” in M&J and a complete pony story “Porridge Pulls His Weight” in Tammy. Actually, I do see his artwork as being quite suited to period stories. Incidentally, the Tammy story is how I know his name, because at this stage Tammy was running credits.
First thing I associate him with is “Girl with the Golden Smile” so maybe thats why I don’t automatically think of him with period stories, he does good work in either though.
Translated into Dutch as “De kinderen in de mijn” (The Children in the Mine”) and published in Debbie #8 (1978).
