EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the dangerous reality of coal mining in the early 20th century, as seen in the side movement at Tirpentwys Colliery near Pontypool in South Wales. The image, taken in 1908, shows the aftermath of a potentially catastrophic incident in the coal seam. A broken prop, a crucial support for the mine's wooden roof, lies on the left side of the frame, evidence of the dangerous sideways movement, or "slippage," that could lead to a collapse. The miners, who are not visible in this photograph, were at constant risk of injury or death from such incidents. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh working conditions of the Edwardian era's coal mining industry. The miners, mostly working-class men, toiled long hours in the dark, damp, and dangerous conditions of the pits. The use of wooden props to support the mine's roof was a common practice during this period, but it also increased the risk of accidents. The photograph's title, "Evidence of side movement, Tirpentwys Colliery," underscores the ever-present danger that miners faced in their daily work. The broken prop serves as a stark reminder of the physical risks and the human cost of the coal mining industry during this historical period. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the miners and their families, who endured the hardships of the industry for the sake of fueling the industrial revolution and powering the nation.
