EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a historic moment in Bedlington's mining community. The image showcases the renowned Bedlington Miners Picnic, with none other than Aneurin Bevan, the "star" speaker, leading the procession towards the picnic field. In this snapshot from the 1950s, we see Mr. Ernest Jones, N. U. M President standing proudly beside Bevan as they march alongside Coun. W. Cox, chairman of Bedlington U. D Council and his wife Mrs. Cox. On their right stands Mr. R. Main, secretary of Northumberland Area for National Union of Mineworkers. The photograph is a testament to the power and influence that these politicians held over coal miners during that era - their presence alone was enough to unite and inspire an entire community. The rally atmosphere is palpable as banners wave high above the crowd while men and women alike march together in solidarity for their industry and livelihoods. This image serves as a poignant reminder of not only Bedlington's rich mining history but also highlights how political figures like Aneurin Bevan played a significant role in shaping UK social history. Preserved by NCJ / Kemsley through Memory Lane Prints, this print offers viewers an opportunity to step back in time and witness firsthand one of many moments that defined an era filled with resilience, camaraderie, and unwavering determination within Britain's coal mining communities
