The Shot Hole Driller: A Modern Hercules in the Industrial Era". This photo print, taken from the pages of the Daily Mirror on Wednesday 15th May 1935, showcases a true symbol of strength and determination in modern industry. The shot hole driller featured in this image resembles a modern-day Hercules, showcasing his power and resilience. The photograph was captured deep below the surface at the Astley Green Collieries of Manchester Collieries Ltd. , providing a rare glimpse into the arduous work carried out by these unsung heroes. This is just one picture from a series that aims to shed light on the often-overlooked jobs within Britain's coal mines – an essential source of national wealth and might. Britain's rich coal deposits serve as the foundation for our great engineering industries. Coal powers our ships, smelts iron ore, provides gas and electricity for lighting and heating purposes, while also offering numerous valuable by-products. It even contributes significantly to our country's exports. It comes as no surprise that miners hold such esteemed positions among Britain's workforce. Their strenuous labor is frequently performed under great peril but remains vital to sustaining our nation's prosperity. In fact, their collective efforts resulted in an astonishing output of 213,760,556 tons of coal last year alone. Let us cherish this remarkable snapshot from history by Peter Pitt – a testament to both human strength and industrial progress during those times gone by.
