EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Blyth coal staith at Blyth Power Station in Bedlington, Northumberland. Taken from a north-western perspective, the frame of a coal barge dominates the foreground, adding an intriguing element to this historical scene. The coal staithes were instrumental in revolutionizing trade and transport during their heyday. They provided a direct route for coal arriving by railway to be effortlessly dropped into waiting ships, eliminating the need for smaller vessels or keels. This particular structure was constructed between 1910 and 1923, standing as a testament to ingenuity and progress. Photographed in 1992 by Roger Thomas, this image showcases not only the industrial significance of Blyth but also its close connection with the coast and sea. The bustling harbor serves as a backdrop to this imposing architectural marvel, reminding us of its pivotal role in facilitating commerce and supporting local communities.
