EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting remnants of the New Tredegar Colliery, nestled in the picturesque Rhymney Valley of South Wales. The image showcases an engine house that has fallen victim to the relentless force of subsidence, a result of numerous landslips and geological challenges faced by this historic colliery. The New Tredegar Colliery holds a significant place in Welsh history as it was plagued by various mining problems throughout its existence. Despite these obstacles, it stood tall as a symbol of resilience until its eventual closure in 1930. This snapshot freezes time, allowing us to witness firsthand the damage inflicted upon this once-thriving coal mine. As we delve into the past through this evocative photograph, we are transported back to 1911 when life revolved around coal mining in this region. The engine house stands as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's unforgiving power. Its dilapidated state serves as a reminder of the hardships endured by those who worked tirelessly within its walls. With every crack and crevice on display, this image encapsulates not only the physical deterioration but also tells a story steeped in industrial heritage and perseverance against all odds. It is an invaluable glimpse into Wales' rich mining legacy and serves as a poignant reminder that even structures built with strength can succumb to time's unyielding march.
