Thanks to such machines as the Sullivan Shortwall Coal-Cutter
Thanks to such machines as the Sullivan Shortwall Coal-Cutter, the coal face in the Colliery moves forward about 300 yards every year. Yet it is estimated that the known resources are sufficient to maintain the exiting output for several hundred years.

Coal Mining Dark Labour Machinery Underground Workers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the coal mining industry in the 1940s. The image showcases a group of hardworking men, surrounded by darkness and machinery, deep underground. At the center of attention is the impressive Sullivan Shortwall Coal-Cutter, a machine that revolutionized coal extraction during its time. The caption highlights the significant impact of such machines on productivity and progress within collieries. It reveals that thanks to this particular coal-cutter, the coal face in the Colliery was able to move forward about 300 yards every year. This advancement allowed for increased efficiency and ensured a steady output for several hundred years. However, what makes this photograph even more intriguing is its juxtaposition with an interesting fact - despite these technological advancements, it is estimated that there are still abundant known resources available to sustain production levels for many centuries to come. As we gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at both the ingenuity of man-made machinery and nature's seemingly endless supply of valuable resources. It serves as a reminder of our industrial past while also sparking curiosity about how far we have come since then.
