EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into a magical underground wonderland this Christmas as Father Christmas makes an extraordinary arrival at Big Pit, Blaenavon. In this print captured on the 4th of December 1986, we witness the jolly old man himself waving from his unique grotto nestled deep within a coal mine-shaft. This unconventional twist to Santa's traditional abode has South Wales children buzzing with excitement. Descending down a remarkable 300 ft 'chimney' using poit ponies instead of reindeer, young visitors are in for an unforgettable adventure. The image showcases the enchanting moment when Father Christmas emerges from the winding gear, donned in his iconic red suit and carrying his trusty sack filled with gifts. The joyous expressions on both Santa's face and those of eager children perfectly capture the spirit of anticipation that fills the air. As part of their festive tradition, families flock to Big Pit each weekend until Christmas to experience this one-of-a-kind encounter with St. Nick himself. This heartwarming scene reminds us all that even in unexpected places like a coal pit, the magic and generosity of Christmas can be found. Preserved by Western Mail and Echo Copyright through Memory Lane Prints, this photograph transports us back to simpler times when imagination knew no bounds and holiday cheer was shared by all.
