EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene at Chislet Colliery in the 1930s, located next to the Canterbury-Margate road in Kent. The coal mine, which began operations in 1914 with the sinking of its first two shafts, was a vital part of the local industry and economy. Despite surviving the nationalisation of the coal industry in 1947, the mine's days were numbered. In this image, we see a lorry loaded with coal, its wheels turning as it prepares to depart, likely bound for power stations or factories. The mine's workers, dressed in their heavy coats and hats, can be seen in the background, going about their daily tasks. The steam plumes rising from the chimneys of the colliery add to the sense of industry and activity. This historical photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to a time when coal mining played a central role in the development and progress of Kent and the wider industrial landscape of Britain.
