R Colin Snow coal merchants wagon, Barnburgh Colliery, South Yorkshire, 1961. Artist
R Colin Snow coal merchants wagon, Barnburgh Colliery, South Yorkshire, 1961. Snows were one of the many coal merchants operating in the South Yorkshire area, selling locally mined coal. This Bedford TK is parked on the weighbridge of Barnburgh Colliery. When the pit was closed in the 1980s, the site was cleared to make way for the ill fated Earth Centre, the lottery funded ecological centre which swallowed £ 115 million of funding only to close a year or so after its opening. Snows still operate as a coal merchant although now with imported coal

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic R Colin Snow coal merchants wagon parked on the weighbridge of Barnburgh Colliery in South Yorkshire, 1961. During this time, Snows was one of the many coal merchants operating in the area, selling locally mined coal to communities. The Bedford TK lorry stands as a testament to the thriving coal industry that once dominated this region. Sadly, Barnburgh Colliery met its demise in the 1980s when it was closed down. The site was later cleared to make way for an ambitious project called Earth Centre, which aimed to be an ecological center funded by lottery money amounting to £115 million. However, despite high hopes and significant investment, Earth Centre proved ill-fated and closed shortly after its opening. Despite these changes and challenges within the industry, Snows still continues its operations as a coal merchant today. However, instead of relying solely on locally mined coal like before, they now deal with imported sources. This photograph not only showcases a historical moment but also serves as a reminder of how industries can evolve over time due to various factors such as economic shifts and changing environmental concerns. It is through images like these that we can appreciate both our industrial heritage and reflect upon how far we have come since then.
