Coal Coal Mining Colliery Demolition Explosion Miners
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - the demolition of Wearmouth Colliery in October 1994. The image transports us back to the 1990s, a decade marked by significant changes in the mining industry. As we gaze upon this scene, we witness the raw power and force of an explosion that forever altered the landscape. The colliery's demise represents more than just bricks and mortar crumbling; it symbolizes the end of an era for miners and coal mining as a whole. These hardworking individuals dedicated their lives to extracting this precious resource from deep within the Earth, fueling industries and communities alike. However, as time progressed, economic shifts led to a decline in demand for coal. In this photograph, we can almost hear echoes of pickaxes striking against rock walls and feel vibrations reverberating through worn boots. It serves as both a tribute to those who labored tirelessly underground and a reminder of how industries evolve over time. As we reflect on this piece captured by NCJ from Memory Lane Prints, let us not forget the stories behind these images - tales of resilience, camaraderie among miners, and communities built around collieries. This snapshot freezes one fleeting moment but encapsulates decades worth of memories etched into our collective consciousness.
