EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of terraced miners housing in Denaby Main, South Yorkshire during the mid-1960s. These houses were a testament to affordable housing constructed for the hardworking mining workforce. Dating back to 1861, these two up, two down houses with their quaint backyards stood as a symbol of resilience until 1967. The image transports us to an era when basic amenities like water and electricity were not readily available. It wasn't until 1902 that water was installed in these homes, while gas-powered lighting illuminated them until 1951 when electricity finally made its way into their walls. Denaby Main's coal industry played a significant role in shaping this community's identity. The photograph showcases rows upon rows of Victorian-style terraced houses lining the streets and lanes of this industrial town. Each house tells a story of hard work, sacrifice, and unity within this close-knit community. As we gaze at this monochrome snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of the rich history embedded within Britain's coal mining heritage. This image is a poignant reminder of how far society has come since those days but also serves as a tribute to the men and women who labored tirelessly underground to fuel our nation's progress.
