EDITORS COMMENTS

This print takes us back to the heart of Wales in 1970, where the Penallta Colliery at Hengoed stood tall as a symbol of the region's rich coal mining heritage. The image captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the resilience and hard work of Welsh miners. In this snapshot from June 23rd, 1970, we are transported to an era when coal was king and communities thrived around these bustling pits. A vintage car parked nearby serves as a reminder of the times, adding a touch of nostalgia to the scene. The focus is on the winding gear that stands prominently against the backdrop of towering pit structures. This essential machinery was responsible for lowering miners into their subterranean workplace and bringing up precious loads of coal. It represents both progress and danger - an emblematic sight synonymous with mining towns across Wales during this period. As we delve deeper into this photograph, we can almost hear echoes of conversations between miners discussing their day's work or sharing stories over cups of tea during well-deserved breaks. Their dedication to extracting coal from beneath our feet fueled not only their livelihoods but also powered entire industries throughout Britain. Preserved by Western Mail Archive's Memory Lane Prints collection, this evocative image allows us to reflect upon an important chapter in Welsh history - one that shaped communities and defined generations.
