EDITORS COMMENTS
Miner at Work within the Great Harwood Colliery: Extracting the Highly Sought-After Cock Bridge House Coal This evocative photograph captures the daily toil of a miner deep within the Great Harwood Colliery in Lancashire, circa 1910. The miner, focused intently on his task, wields a pickaxe to chisel away at the coal seam, while the dimly lit mine is illuminated by the flickering light of a davy lamp. The cramped and appalling working conditions are a stark reminder of the harsh realities of coal mining during this era. The coal extracted from the Great Harwood Colliery was highly prized for its superior quality, known as Cock Bridge House Coal. This type of coal was greatly esteemed in farm and country houses for its ability to burn brightly and evenly, providing an essential source of heat and fuel for homes and industries. The miner's safety was of paramount concern, as evidenced by the prop support holding up the mine's ceiling. Despite these precautions, mining was a dangerous and physically demanding occupation, with long hours and meager wages. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant reminder of the hardworking men and women who labored in the coal mines to provide for their families and contribute to the industrial economy. The Great Harwood Colliery, located in Accrington, Lancashire, was one of many such mines that played a crucial role in the region's coal mining industry. Interested parties could purchase this highly collectible photograph directly from the pit or through one of the local agents listed, including Mr. Grime and Mr. Dugdale. This image makes for an excellent addition to any history or coal mining-themed collection.
