EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet intimacy in the lives of a miner's family from Hook Colliery, located near Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, during the early 20th century. The image shows the miner's wife sitting in the doorway of their humble cottage, her expression thoughtful as she looks out towards the horizon. Her young daughter stands beside her, her hands folded demurely in front of her, gazing off into the distance with a look of curiosity and wonder. The family's beloved dog lies relaxed just outside the doorway, adding to the sense of warmth and homeliness. The scene is one of simple domesticity, yet the class divide between the mining community and the affluent classes is palpable. The worn-out appearance of the cottage and the plain clothing of the mother and daughter serve as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of working-class life in Wales during this period. The open doorway invites the viewer to peer into the private world of this family, offering a glimpse into their daily existence. The photograph, taken in 1901, is a poignant reminder of the history and heritage of the mining communities in Wales. It invites us to reflect on the lives of the men, women, and children who labored in the collieries and the sacrifices they made for their families. The image also serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between family members and the importance of home and hearth in providing comfort and solace in difficult times.
