EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Blinkered to protect his eyes" we are transported back in time to the Knowetop Mine in Lanarkshire, Scotland, during January 1966. The image captures a poignant moment as a brave pony fearlessly canters up the shaft towards daylight and green grass. With its eyes protected by blinkers, it symbolizes resilience and determination amidst the harsh conditions of coal mining. The photograph offers a glimpse into the world of underground industry, where darkness and dirt were an everyday reality. Yet, against this backdrop emerges a beautiful connection between man and animal. The pony becomes our guide through subterranean tunnels, reminding us of the vital role these creatures played in supporting miners' work. As we admire this snapshot from the 1960s, we are reminded of both the hardships faced by those working in collieries and their unwavering spirit. It serves as a tribute to all who dedicated themselves to extracting coal from beneath the earth's surface. This Memory Lane Print transports us back to an era when coal mining was at its peak but also reminds us of how far we have come since then. Let it be a reminder that progress should never overshadow our respect for history or our appreciation for those who labored tirelessly underground.
