EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to January 1970, where a young boy named Lane Thomas is pictured near his home at Pen Mountain in Cilfynnydd. The image captures the essence of childhood innocence and resilience as Lane sits proudly in his wheelchair next to Eastern, a pit pony presented to him by the National Coal Board. The photograph beautifully encapsulates the strong bond between children and animals, showcasing Lane's pure joy and connection with Eastern. As he gently strokes the pony's mane, their friendship becomes evident through their shared trust and companionship. This snapshot also serves as a poignant reminder of the coal mining industry that once thrived in this region during the 1970s. It provides us with a glimpse into an era when coal mining was not only an integral part of local communities but also shaped the lives of individuals like Lane Thomas and his family. Through this powerful visual narrative, we are invited to reflect on our collective history while celebrating moments of triumph over adversity. This print is not just about one boy or one pony; it represents countless untold stories that have shaped our society. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Mirrorpix, let us cherish these memories etched forever in time – reminding us of both our past struggles and our enduring spirit.
