EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the scene of excavations at Rossington Colliery near Doncaster, South Yorkshire in 1963. The image showcases a group of dedicated civil engineers from Norwest Construction hard at work, delving deep into the coal mine without any protective headgear or safety equipment. The photograph provides a glimpse into the challenging and hazardous conditions that these brave men faced on a daily basis. With their sleeves rolled up and determination etched on their faces, they epitomize the resilience and dedication of workers in the coal industry during this era. The stark monochrome tones add to the industrial atmosphere, emphasizing both the gritty nature of their job and the importance of their role in fueling Britain's economy. This snapshot freezes a moment in time when manual labor was still prevalent before technological advancements transformed many industries. Photographed by Michael Walters, this image is part of his extensive collection showcasing various aspects of British life during the 1960s. It serves as a powerful reminder not only of our industrial heritage but also highlights how far workplace safety standards have progressed since then. As we admire this remarkable piece capturing an essential chapter in history, it prompts us to reflect on those who labored tirelessly underground to power our nation's progress while facing countless risks every day.
