EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Poynton and Worth Colliers Library and Reading Room, a significant establishment on Lord Vernon's estate in Poynton. The library was a beacon of education for all workers on the estate, operating on a subsidised subscription basis to ensure access to knowledge for everyone.
The image captures a moment in history when social reform and educational opportunities were beginning to take root in mining communities like Poynton. The library served as a hub for learning, offering books and resources to help uplift the working class through knowledge.
Lord Vernon's philanthropic efforts are evident in this photograph, showcasing his dedication to providing education and empowerment to his workers. The library stands as a testament to his commitment to improving the lives of those who labored in the coal mines.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are transported back in time to an era where access to education was not guaranteed for all. The Poynton and Worth Colliers Library and Reading Room symbolize progress, enlightenment, and hope for a brighter future for all members of society.
This print is not just a snapshot from the past; it is a reminder of the power of education and how it can transform lives and communities for generations to come.
