EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the 1930s, showcases the Hook Colliery Railway in Pembrokeshire, South Wales. A spur of the Great Western Railway, this line connected the Hook Colliery with Johnston Station, located approximately four miles away. The railway played a pivotal role in facilitating the export of coal from the region. The image presents a historical snapshot of the railway transport system during an era when coal was a primary source of energy. The rugged terrain of the Welsh countryside is evident in the background, with the railway tracks winding their way through the landscape. The railway station, though modest, is a testament to the industrial spirit of the time. The photograph was captured by one of the miners using a Box Brownie camera, adding a personal touch to the image. The 30s were a significant decade for the coal mining industry in South Wales, and this photograph encapsulates the era's unique charm and character. The Hook Colliery Railway was an essential part of the transport infrastructure that connected the coal mines with the ports, enabling the efficient movement of coal from the mines to markets beyond. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich industrial history of Pembrokeshire and the role that railways played in shaping the region's economy and identity.
