EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by NCJ from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the year 1996 at the former Lambton Cokeworks in Sunderland. A small group of dedicated archaeologists can be seen diligently digging up a remarkable piece of history - a perfectly preserved wooden railway that had been buried beneath colliery spoil for years. The image captures the essence of transport and industry, as well as the sheer determination involved in unearthing forgotten treasures. The muddy surroundings serve as a testament to the challenging conditions these archaeologists faced during their excavation. The diverse team of Caucasian individuals, whose ages remain unknown, stand united in their pursuit of knowledge and discovery. Their expertise is evident as they carefully uncover each section of the railway with precision and care. This incredible find sheds light on Sunderland's rich mining heritage, highlighting its importance within industrial history. The presence of trains and railways symbolizes progress and innovation during an era when coal played a pivotal role in powering nations. NCJ's photograph not only captures a significant moment but also serves as a reminder that our past holds countless secrets waiting to be unveiled. It invites us to appreciate those who dedicate themselves to preserving our collective memory through archaeological exploration.
