EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 1900s and the bustling Clogau St. David's Gold Mine near Bontddu in Wales. The image showcases the rugged terrain and the raw beauty of the landscape, dotted with the telltale signs of human industry. Miner's lanterns cast a warm, flickering glow against the darkened quarry walls, guiding the way for the hardworking miners as they delved deep into the earth in search of precious gold. The colliery, a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, stands proud against the backdrop of the Welsh hills, its tall chimney stack releasing plumes of smoke into the sky. The quarry, a hive of activity, is a stark contrast to the tranquil slate quarries that dominate the region. The mine's proximity to the coal mines is evident, with coal carts visible in the foreground, a reminder of the area's rich mining heritage. The photograph, with its Victorian and Edwardian influences, captures the essence of a bygone era. The miners, dressed in their heavy workwear, are a testament to the grueling labor that was a part of daily life in the region during this period. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of the men and women who toiled in the mines, their stories of hardship and triumph now etched in history. This photograph is not only a visual representation of the past but also a reminder of the deep connection between the people of Wales and the land they call home. The legacy of the Clogau St. David's Gold Mine continues to resonate, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Welsh people and their rich mining heritage.
