This miner represents not only himself but also countless others who toiled in the coal industry during Britain's industrial era. Set against the backdrop of a gymnasium at Horden Colliery, this portrait showcases the grit and determination that defined these hardworking men. The punchbag hanging in the background serves as a reminder of their relentless training regimen. Walters' monochrome composition adds depth to this image while emphasizing its timeless quality.
