EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stark beauty and harsh realities of the Ocean Colliery, also known as Western Colliery, in Nant Y Moel, Glamorgan, South Wales, during a day of inclement weather in 1969. The colliery, which closed its doors in 1984, was a significant part of the local mining industry in the Ogmore Vale region of South Wales during the 1960s. The image reveals a scene of sleet and smoke, with the colliery's towering structures looming in the background. The coal mine, which was once a source of employment for many in the community, now stands as a testament to the area's industrial past. The sleet, which clings to the ground and the colliery's machinery, adds to the sense of melancholy and nostalgia, while the thick plumes of smoke billowing from the chimneys serve as a reminder of the coal industry's environmental impact. The photograph was taken in the late 1960s, a time when the coal mining industry was in decline, and the closure of the Ocean Colliery was a harbinger of things to come. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a visual record of a bygone era and a reminder of the history and heritage of the Welsh mining industry. The photograph's grainy texture and moody atmosphere transport us back in time, inviting us to reflect on the human stories and experiences that are intertwined with this historic site.
