EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases a row of quaint bungalows nestled amidst the lush greenery of the Tarquah (Tarkwa) Mines in Ghana, Gold Coast, West Africa. The image offers a glimpse into the living quarters of the fitters and miners who worked at the mine during the early 1900s. The bungalows, with their red-tiled roofs and whitewashed exteriors, exude a sense of tranquility and comfort amidst the bustling mining community. The verandas, shaded by tall trees, provide a welcoming respite from the tropical heat. The Tarquah Mines, located in the western part of Ghana, were a significant contributor to the Gold Coast's gold production during the colonial era. The mine employed a large workforce, and these bungalows were likely provided by the mining company to house its employees. The African workers, dressed in traditional clothing, can be seen going about their daily routines in the background. The image offers a unique perspective on the living conditions of the African labor force during this period, highlighting the blend of Western and African influences in the Gold Coast. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich history of mining in Ghana and the diverse cultural heritage of its people. It invites us to reflect on the lives of the men and women who played a crucial role in shaping the country's mining industry and its social fabric.
