EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a historic moment in British history as The Duke and Duchess of York, later King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, pay a visit to a Durham Colliery on 29th July 1936. The image most likely depicts the royal couple at Kibblesworth Colliery, specifically the Glamis Pit, where they are seen donning traditional miners' helmets and holding miners' lamps. Dressed in raincoats and headscarves, the Duke and Duchess blend in with the local miners, demonstrating their solidarity and commitment to understanding the working conditions of the coal industry. The Duke, who would later ascend to the throne, is seen wearing a miner's stick for support, while the Duchess, a loving mother of two young princesses, holds her lamp with a determined expression. The visit was an official one, aimed at fostering a connection between the royals and the working class, and showcasing the monarchy's support for the coal mining community during the economically challenging 1930s. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a time when the British monarchy sought to engage with the people, and the Duke and Duchess of York's visit to the Durham Colliery stands as a testament to their dedication and compassion.
