Markham Colliery, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England: A Bittersweet Moment of Pride and Tragedy in the Mining Industry This evocative photograph captures a coal miner, his face beaming with pride, standing before a production table notice at Markham Colliery in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England. The notice displays both the target and actual outputs, a common sight in the relentless pursuit of productivity in the coal mining industry. The date stamped on the notice, July 31, 1973, however, casts an ominous shadow over this seemingly ordinary scene. Markham Colliery holds a significant place in the annals of mining history, as it was here that one of the most tragic accidents in the industry occurred. On that fateful day, an industrial descending cage, carrying 18 coal miners to the pit face, failed to slow down as it approached the bottom of the mine shaft. The result was a devastating accident that claimed the lives of 18 miners and left 11 others seriously injured. The photo serves as a poignant reminder of the dual nature of the coal mining industry – a source of livelihood and pride for the miners and their communities, but also a dangerous and unforgiving workplace. The production table notice, with its meticulous record of targets and actual outputs, stands as a testament to the relentless drive for efficiency and productivity, even as the ghosts of the past continue to haunt the memories of those who lived through the darkest days of the industry.
