EDITORS COMMENTS

This print from the Sheffield City Archives takes us on a journey through time, showcasing the once-thriving coal industry in Rotherham. The image captures the collieries at Treeton, Fence, and Orgreave, which played significant roles in shaping the industrial landscape of this region. Dating back to 1904, Fence Colliery ceased its coal production after years of contributing to the local economy. Its closure marked an end to an era that had seen countless miners toiling underground for generations. Meanwhile, Treeton Colliery followed suit in December 1990, leaving behind a legacy etched into the hearts of those who depended on it for their livelihoods. The photograph also features Orgreave Colliery, which closed its doors in October 1981. This particular colliery holds historical significance as it witnessed one of Britain's most infamous labor disputes - the Battle of Orgreave during the Miners' Strike of 1984-85. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of these collieries' immense contribution to fueling industrial progress but also of their impact on communities and lives intertwined with mining heritage. It serves as a poignant reminder that industries may rise and fall over time but leave indelible imprints on landscapes and memories alike. Let this evocative image transport us back to an era when coal was king and honor those who dedicated their lives beneath our feet while contemplating how far.
