EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling stores at Bestwood Colliery in North Nottinghamshire on a summer day in 1962. The image showcases an integral part of the coal industry, revealing some of the essential supplies required to keep this busy pit running smoothly. Inside the store, we see a group of men diligently attending to their tasks, surrounded by shelves stacked with various items necessary for daily operations. Their focused expressions indicate the importance of their work as they navigate through piles of equipment and tools specific to coal mining. The monochrome composition adds depth and character to this snapshot from the past, capturing both the grittiness and determination that defined this era. It serves as a powerful reminder of England's industrial heritage and its reliance on coal during this time. Photographed by Michael Walters, renowned for his ability to capture authentic moments within historical contexts, this image transports us back in time. Through his lens, we gain insight into not only the physical environment but also into the lives and experiences of those who worked tirelessly underground. As we observe these dedicated individuals amidst their surroundings at Bestwood Colliery Stores, it is impossible not to feel a sense of admiration for their resilience and contribution towards fueling Britain's progress during an era marked by rapid industrialization.
