EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide captures a glimpse of the bustling Six Bells Colliery in Abertillery, Wales during the early 1900s. The Edwardian era was a time of great industrial growth, and this image showcases the heart of coal mining activity in Wales.
The sight of miners heading into the pit, railway tracks winding through the landscape, and the towering colliery buildings all paint a vivid picture of life in this quarrying town. The hardworking men who toiled underground to extract coal for fuel are immortalized in this snapshot from history.
The Victorian architecture of the collieries stands as a testament to an era when industry thrived and communities were built around these vital sources of employment. The slate quarries nearby also played a significant role in shaping the landscape and economy of Abertillery.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by generations past to fuel progress and innovation. The legacy of mining runs deep in Welsh history, and images like these serve as important reminders of our industrial heritage.
This print from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection is not just a piece of art but a window into a world long gone - where bellows rang out signaling shifts changes, steam engines chugged along carrying loads of precious coal, and miners worked tirelessly beneath the earth's surface.
