EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stark reality of Blaenavon, Monmouthshire in circa 1936, where a row of houses are precariously propped up by wooden supports. The subsidence of the ground beneath these homes was a result of the extensive mining activities that had taken place in the area for centuries. The houses, which were once homes for the local pauper community, now stand as a testament to the harsh living conditions faced by the people of Blaenavon. Mining had been the lifeblood of this industrial town since the 18th century, but the extraction of coal and iron ore came at a great cost. The underground mining activities caused the ground to shift, leading to the subsidence of the soil and the structures built upon it. The houses in this photograph are just a few of the many that were affected, leaving their residents with no choice but to rely on the makeshift supports to keep their homes from collapsing. Despite the challenges, the community persevered, and the houses continued to serve as shelter for those in need. The wooden props, though a temporary solution, provided a sense of stability and hope in the face of adversity. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the people of Blaenavon in the name of progress and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of hardship.
