EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a colliery girl in the late 1890s. The young girl, dressed in ragged clothes and with a determined expression on her face, pushes a heavy coal wagon through a muddy mine shaft. The harsh conditions of the colliery are evident in the girl's worn appearance and the dimly lit, damp environment. Colliery girls, also known as pit girls, played a crucial role in the coal mining industry during this period. They worked long hours, often starting before sunrise and finishing after dark, performing various tasks such as loading and unloading coal wagons, cleaning coal, and maintaining the mines. Despite the challenging conditions and the physical and health risks involved, colliery girls were an essential part of the workforce. They were paid less than their male counterparts, but their wages were still a vital source of income for many families in mining communities. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the hardships and sacrifices made by colliery girls during the industrial revolution. It offers a glimpse into the past and sheds light on the often-overlooked role of women in the coal mining industry. The image also underscores the importance of recognizing the contributions of working-class women in shaping the history of labor and industry in the late 19th century.
