EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the harsh realities of childhood in the coal mining industry during the late 1890s in the Saundersfoot area of Pembrokeshire, South Wales. The young collier, estimated to be around 14 years old, is shown in the dimly lit colliery, his fringe covering his forehead as he focuses intently on the task at hand. Dressed in a typical miner's cap and wearing a grubby shirt and trousers, he wields a hammer to remove coal from the mine's flat walls. At this time, the coal mining industry in Wales employed children as young as ten years old, often working long hours in dangerous conditions. The use of children in the mines was a common practice during the Victorian era, with many families relying on their earnings to support their families. The historical image transports us back to an era of hard labor and difficult living conditions. The young boy's expression conveys a sense of determination and resilience, despite the challenging circumstances. The coal mine's dirt and grime are a stark reminder of the physical toll of the industry on the miners and their families. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the coal mining industry in Wales and the sacrifices made by the children who worked in the mines during this period. The image is a powerful testament to the human spirit and the enduring strength of the working class during the Industrial Revolution.
