EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the 1980s, we are transported back in time to a miners kitchen at the Tom Leonard Mining Museum. The scene is beautifully recreated with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing an era of history that shaped communities and industries. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a magnificent cast iron range, which would have provided warmth and nourishment for hardworking miners and their families. Clip rugs adorn the floor, adding a touch of comfort and homeliness to the space. Surrounding the table are Victorian chairs, inviting us to imagine conversations shared over hearty meals. Carol Skelton, co-ordinator of the museum, stands proudly amidst model figures placed within this nostalgic setting. Her dedication to preserving our heritage shines through as she meticulously arranges every element in its rightful place. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how vital mining was to communities like Skinningrove. It offers visitors an educational experience by immersing them in an authentic representation of domestic life during this significant period. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we cannot help but appreciate the efforts made by institutions like The Cleveland Ironstone Mining Museum in keeping our past alive through exhibitions such as these. This image invites us into a world long gone yet still resonating with tales waiting to be discovered by those who seek knowledge and understanding about our industrial roots.
