EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a somber moment in history, depicting unemployed miners patiently queuing at the dole at Rhos employment exchange. It was taken in May 1970, during a time of great uncertainty and hardship for these hardworking men who had dedicated their lives to the coal industry. The closure of one of the mines had left them without work, forcing them to rely on government assistance. The image showcases a group of predominantly elderly miners, their weathered faces reflecting years of laborious toil underground. Despite their weary appearance, there is an undeniable sense of resilience as they stand together in solidarity, waiting for their turn with hope in their eyes. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact that unemployment can have on individuals and communities alike. It encapsulates not only the struggles faced by these specific miners but also represents countless others who found themselves out of work during this era. As we gaze upon this snapshot from the past, it prompts us to reflect on our own society's progress since then and reminds us that even today, many face similar challenges due to economic downturns or shifts in industries. This image stands as a testament to human strength amidst adversity and serves as an important historical document capturing an era defined by unemployment and its profound effects on working-class communities.
