EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to the 1950s, offering a glimpse into the humble life of the residents of Longhirst Old Colliery. The village, known for its rich mining history, stands as a testament to an era when coal was king and modern amenities were scarce. In this particular snapshot, we see a corner of the village where Mrs. Evelyn Dixon and her husband Tom reside. Their modest home is adorned with a television set - a rare luxury in these parts. Positioned prominently in their living room, it serves as both a source of entertainment and a symbol of progress amidst an otherwise simple existence. However, despite this small touch of modernity, daily routines remain unchanged. As captured in this image, Mrs. Dixon lovingly assists her husband with his bath; an act that speaks volumes about their enduring bond and unwavering commitment to one another. The presence of a budgie perched nearby adds charm to the scene – perhaps providing some cheerful company during quieter moments in their lives. This photograph not only offers us insight into the lives of miners during that time but also reminds us of the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by communities like Longhirst Old Colliery who thrived on unity amidst challenging circumstances.
