EDITORS COMMENTS
A poignant moment frozen in time, this print captures the end of an era as a miner returns his lamp to the lamp room for the final time. It was the last shift at Cotgrave pit, marking a significant chapter in coal mining history. The year was 1992, and it symbolized the closure of yet another mine in England's East Midlands region. In this image from the 1990s, we see a hardworking miner wearing his donkey jacket and overalls, carrying his trusty lamp while sporting a sturdy hard hat – essential safety equipment for those working underground. The scene exudes both resilience and nostalgia as it showcases one man's dedication to an industry that shaped communities and livelihoods for generations. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the immense contribution made by miners across Nottinghamshire during this period. Their tireless efforts fueled industrial progress and powered countless homes throughout the United Kingdom. As we reflect on this snapshot from memory lane, let us honor not only the individuals depicted but also all those who played their part in shaping our nation's mining heritage. This print stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment amidst challenging conditions.
