EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the year 1915 at the Plas y Coed Level in South Wales. The image showcases a dedicated miner diligently repairing pit props, highlighting the unwavering commitment of Welsh workers to their craft. With an axe in hand, this historical figure is seen carefully cutting and shaping wooden supports that were crucial for maintaining safety within the coal mine. His weathered face tells a story of hard work and resilience, reflecting the working-class spirit that defined industrial South Wales during this era. The photograph provides a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by miners as they toiled away underground. Covered in dirt from head to toe, these brave individuals risked their lives daily to extract valuable coal resources for their community and country. The timber tracks running alongside him serve as a reminder of the intricate support system required to navigate through treacherous mining tunnels. Each repair made by skilled hands like his ensured that fellow miners could continue their labor with confidence and security. This powerful image captures not only a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to the rich history of coal mining in South Wales. It serves as a testament to both individual resilience and collective determination amidst harsh working conditions.
