EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from the 1930s, three visitors, including Mr. Vickerman, the boss, are seen at the Margaret pithead of Hook Colliery in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. Dressed in coats and hats, they stand in front of the imposing colliery shaft, its large metal collar and winch mechanism looming behind them. The women visitor wears a fur coat, adding an air of elegance and contrast to the industrial setting. The scene exudes an atmosphere of a bygone era, with the visitors' formal attire and the men's workwear contrasting against the rugged terrain of the coal mine. The colliery, located near Haverfordwest, was a significant part of the local industry and economy during the 1930s, providing employment for many in the region. Mr. Vickerman, a distinguished-looking man, is seen in the center, wearing a suit and hat, his expression serious as he engages in conversation with the other visitors. The woman, dressed in a smart coat and hat, looks on intently, while the two men, both wearing collars and work shirts, appear curious and attentive. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history of coal mining in Pembrokeshire and the role of the colliery in the community. The visitors' presence suggests a sense of pride and importance placed on the industry, even as the 1930s progressed and economic challenges began to mount. Overall, this photograph is a poignant reminder of the rich industrial history of Wales and the people who played a role in shaping it. The image invites us to reflect on the past and consider the stories and experiences of those who came before us.
