EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by Dave MacLeod, showcases the haunting beauty 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 the remnants of Gairs Colliery with remarkable detail. Adits, or mine entrances, can be seen dotting the landscape while spoil heaps rise like rugged mountains against the horizon. Tracing their paths across the terrain are tramways that were once bustling with activity and now stand silent and still. One building stands as a lonely sentinel amidst this desolate scene; its ruins whispering tales of laborious work and camaraderie long gone. The dilapidated structure serves as a poignant reminder of the lives lived within these walls and the hardships endured for progress. MacLeod's expert use of aerial photography allows us to appreciate not only the grand scale but also the intricate details that make up this disused colliery. From above, we witness nature slowly reclaiming what was once man-made - grasses creeping through cracks in concrete foundations and trees taking root where miners once toiled. Through this photograph, we are transported into history - reminded of an era defined by coal mining's significance in shaping communities and economies alike. It is an evocative snapshot frozen in time that invites contemplation on our ever-changing world.
