EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, showcasing a Colliery Lamp Room during the Victorian period. The image transports us to an era of coal mining that was once the backbone of industries in Wales and England. The Colliery Lamp Room was a vital part of the coal mining process, where miners gathered before and after their shifts to receive their safety lamps. These lamps were essential for ensuring the miners' safety as they navigated the dark, underground tunnels. The Edwardian-era photograph reveals a room filled with miners, each holding their individual lanterns, waiting for their turn to receive their safety lamps. The room's atmosphere is both somber and hopeful, as the miners prepare to descend into the depths of the mine or return from their shift. The coal-dusted walls, dimly lit by the lanterns, and the worn wooden benches add to the authenticity of the scene. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the early safety measures taken to protect the lives of the miners, a testament to the evolving mining industry during the Victorian period. This photograph is an invaluable piece of history, providing a window into the lives of the miners and the working conditions of the coal mines during the late 1800s and early 1900s. It is a poignant reminder of the hardships and dedication of the quarrymen and colliermen who played a significant role in shaping the industrial landscape of Wales and England.
