Two impeccably dressed gentlemen wearing their signature bowler hats unexpectedly appeared on Grandma Gwen Henstocks doorstep. With warm smiles and friendly greetings, they exchanged pleasantries with Mrs. Henstock before embarking on a task that was far from ordinary. With great humor and camaraderie, these coalmen proceeded to hump heavy sacks of coal into Mrs. Henstock's cellar, ensuring her home would be kept warm during the chilly winter months. This snapshot captures a moment in time when coal mining played a crucial role in fueling homes and providing energy for countless households.
