EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, capturing the essence of Follonsby Colliery in White Mare Pool. Located in County Durham, England, this image showcases the heart of Britain's mining industry during that era. The colliery stands tall against a backdrop of rugged landscapes, symbolizing the resilience and determination of the British people. The pit head baths at Follonsby are prominently featured in this snapshot. These facilities were crucial for miners after their long and arduous shifts underground. They provided a place for them to clean up before returning home to their families, offering a small respite from the grueling work they endured daily. Follonsby Colliery was not just an industrial site; it represented a way of life for countless individuals and communities across Tyne and Wear. It served as both an economic powerhouse and a source of pride for those who worked tirelessly within its depths. This photograph is more than just a historical record; it evokes emotions and memories associated with an important period in British history. As we gaze upon this image today, we can't help but appreciate the sacrifices made by these hardworking men who labored underground to fuel Britain's progress. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints' staff, this print allows us to connect with our past while honoring those who shaped our present.
