EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing presence of Lewis Merthyr Pit at Bedwas Navigation Colliery in Monmouthshire, South Wales. The colliery, which opened in 1913 and closed in the mid-1980s, was once a symbol of the region's rich coal mining heritage. The tall, smoke-belching chimney stands proud against the sky, a testament to the industry and hard work that took place within its walls. The photograph, taken in the early 1960s, offers a glimpse into the past when coal mining was a major industry in Wales. The pit, operated by Bedwas Navigation Colliery Company, employed hundreds of men who worked tirelessly to extract coal from the earth. The miners, many of whom lived in the nearby communities, were an integral part of the local economy and culture. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the Miners Strike of 1984-85, which led to the closure of many coal mines across the UK, including Bedwas Navigation Colliery. The strike, which lasted for over a year, was a pivotal moment in the history of the coal mining industry and had far-reaching consequences for the communities that relied on it. Despite the passage of time, the image of the pit, with its tall, smoking chimney, remains a powerful symbol of the region's industrial past. The photograph invites us to reflect on the history of coal mining in Wales and the lives of the men and women who worked in the pits, as well as the impact of the industry on the communities that grew up around it.
