EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Another coal mine at risk" takes us back to the year 1984, capturing a pivotal moment in the history of Betws colliery. The image showcases the determined figure of Vince Rogers, the colliery manager, standing amidst a backdrop of industrial machinery and a group of hardworking miners. It serves as a poignant reminder of an era when coal mining was not only an essential industry but also faced numerous challenges. The photograph exudes an air of uncertainty and tension, reflecting the precarious state that this particular mine found itself in during that time. With its gritty composition and stark contrasts, it encapsulates both the physical labor involved in mining as well as the emotional weight carried by those who depended on this profession for their livelihoods. As we gaze upon this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported to an era where coal mines were not just places of work but also communities bound together by shared struggles and triumphs. This image invites us to reflect on how industries evolve over time and reminds us of our collective responsibility to preserve these historical moments for future generations.
