This print takes us back to the year 1962, where we find ourselves inside the Bestwood Colliery in North Nottinghamshire. The image showcases a dedicated warehouseman meticulously checking stock in the stores of this bustling coal mine. It was taken on the 13th of July, offering us a glimpse into a specific moment in time during the mid-20th century. The photograph captures the essence of an era dominated by industry and hard work. The man featured is engrossed in his task, surrounded by boxes and shelves filled with essential supplies for the colliery's operations. His presence symbolizes not only his individual contribution but also represents countless others who played vital roles within this coal mining community. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this powerful image, emphasizing both light and shadows that dance across the warehouse walls. Through this lens, we witness history unfolding before our eyes – an intimate portrayal of life inside one of England's thriving collieries. Photographed by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this remarkable snapshot serves as a reminder of our industrial heritage and pays homage to those who labored tirelessly beneath ground level.
