Coal Denby Eaton Gangway Tramway
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage photograph of the Little Eaton and Denby Coal Gangway, a relic of the past that once played a significant role in the coal mining industry of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, offers a glimpse into the rich history of coal mining in England during the late 1800s and early 1900s. The photograph depicts a coal gangway at Little Eaton, a small village located in Derbyshire, England. The gangway, also known as a tramway or tramroad, was used to transport coal from the mines to the nearby railway station. The coal was loaded onto wagons attached to the gangway, which were then pulled by horses or locomotives. The scene is illuminated by the warm glow of a coal-fired lantern, casting an orange hue over the image and adding to the sense of nostalgia. The coal wagons, horses, and gangway workers are all dressed in typical mining attire, adding to the authenticity of the image. In the background, the chimneys of the coal mines can be seen rising into the sky, a testament to the industry's power and influence. The photograph is a reminder of the hard work and dedication of the coal miners and their families, who played a crucial role in fueling the Industrial Revolution and powering the economy of Victorian and Edwardian England. The image also serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving historical records and artifacts, as they provide valuable insights into our past and help us understand the world we live in today.
