1. Title: "A Man of Measured Precision: Herbert Saunders at Llanerch Colliery, 1912" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the essence of the industrial era in South Wales, as we see a smartly dressed man named Herbert Saunders standing resolutely under a coal weighing machine at Llanerch Colliery near Pontypool. The year is 1912, and the scene is one of meticulous measurement and hard work in the heart of the Welsh mining industry. Herbert Saunders, impeccably attired in a suit, bowler hat, and collar and tie, appears to be in a state of focused concentration as he stands directly beneath the coal weighing machine. The intricate network of chains and pulleys overhead, designed to measure the weight of the coal extracted from the mine, form a stark contrast to Saunders' refined appearance. The image speaks to the class divide that was a defining feature of the coal mining industry during this period. While Saunders, as a supervisor or manager, is afforded the luxury of a well-tailored suit and a clean, shaven appearance, the miners toiling deep beneath the earth would have been dressed in grubby, soot-stained clothing. The coal mining industry in South Wales played a crucial role in the region's economic development, providing employment opportunities for thousands of workers. However, it was an industry marked by long hours, dangerous working conditions, and low wages. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the stark contrasts that existed between the classes during this period and the role that industrial labor played in shaping the social fabric of Wales. In summary, this photograph of Herbert Saunders standing under the coal weighing machine at Llanerch Colliery offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Welsh coal mining industry, highlighting the class divide and the importance of precise measurement in the extractive process.
