Coal Colliery Descend Lift Miners Mining Operations Shaft Shift Under Ground Lynemouth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time at Lynemouth Colliery in the 1970s, as miners prepare to descend into the depths of the earth for their shift underground. The image shows a group of miners crowded into a lift shaft, their faces etched with determination and grit as they gear up for another day of hard labor in the coal mines.
The stark industrial setting and dim lighting add to the atmosphere of this historical scene, highlighting the harsh realities faced by these workers on a daily basis. As they wait for the lift to take them down into the darkness below, one can only imagine the thoughts running through their minds - thoughts of family waiting at home, hopes for a safe return after a long day's work, and perhaps even fears about what dangers may lie ahead.
This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the vital role that mining played in shaping communities like Lynemouth during this era. It is a testament to the resilience and strength of these miners who risked their lives every day to fuel industry and provide for their families. Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just an image, but a piece of history that continues to resonate with viewers today.
