EDITORS COMMENTS
"This poignant photograph captures the harsh realities of life for mining families in Newcastle, Northumberland during the 1930s. The image shows a mother and her young child, with a baby in tow, standing outside one of the dilapidated miners' dwellings. The wooden shed, which serves as their home, is tiny, insanitary, and in a state of disrepair. Despite its poor condition, this is where they pay a weekly rent of seven shillings to live. The photo offers a glimpse into the cramped and challenging living conditions endured by the mining community during this era. The image is a stark reminder of the social and economic hardships faced by families in the coal mining industry, and the struggle for basic necessities such as adequate housing and a decent standard of living."
