EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the harsh realities of childhood in the coal mining industry during the early 19th century. The photograph, titled "Children Working as Putters," depicts a young girl and boy, both dressed in ragged clothing, laboriously hauling a heavy tub filled with coal from the coal-wall to the pit-bottom. The coal-wall, a vertical face of coal, looms ominously in the background, while the pit-bottom, a dark and foreboding hole, awaits the arrival of the tub. The children, who appear to be around 8-10 years old, are identified as putters, a term used to describe young coal miners who loaded and transported coal from the coal-face to the pit-bottom. The weight of the coal in the tub is estimated to be between 150-500kg (3-10 cwt), making this a physically demanding task for such young and small laborers. This historical photograph, taken in 1842, offers a stark reminder of the harsh working conditions endured by children in the coal mining industry during this period. The long hours, dangerous working conditions, and lack of safety regulations made coal mining a perilous occupation for children, who were often forced to work long hours to support their families. The image also highlights the important role that children played in the coal mining industry during this time period. Despite the challenging conditions, children were a vital source of labor, and their contributions were essential to the mining operations. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by children in the name of industry and economic progress.
