EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by Dave MacLeod, showcases the remnants of Gairs Colliery in Hanging Crag, Cumbria. The image transports us back to 2013 when this once-thriving coal mine stood as a testament to the region's industrial past. The print captures an expansive view of the colliery site, revealing adits (mine entrances), spoil heaps, and a tramway that were integral parts of its operation. These features provide valuable insights into the mining techniques employed during that era. As we gaze upon this scene from above, our eyes are drawn to the ruins of one building nestled amidst the rugged landscape. These crumbling remains serve as poignant reminders of the human endeavor and perseverance that characterized life in these mining communities. The desolation depicted in this photo evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when coal was king and these mines buzzed with activity. It also serves as a reminder of how industries rise and fall over time. Dave MacLeod's expertly captured image not only documents an important piece of history but also invites contemplation on themes such as progress, labor, and heritage preservation. It is through photographs like these that we can appreciate both the beauty and significance found within abandoned places - they become windows into our collective pasts while inspiring conversations about their future preservation.
