Colliery Hard Hats Jobs Mines School Trip
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.

Exploring the Depths: Youngsters from Denby Dale First School Embark on an Eye-Opening Journey into the Coal Mines". In this photo print, we are transported back to a significant moment in history as youngsters from Denby Dale First School embark on a remarkable adventure. With eager anticipation and wide-eyed curiosity, these children were granted a rare opportunity to catch a glimpse of life down a coal mine. Accompanied by students from Bretton Hall College, this enthusiastic group of young explorers, including Andrew Harpin pictured right, descended upon the disused Caphouse Colliery. Although still months away from opening its doors as a museum in June, the colliery welcomed these brave souls for an exclusive preview. Decked out in sturdy hard hats and armed with boundless enthusiasm, these future leaders donned their miniature mining gear and ventured deep underground. This educational school trip not only provided them with firsthand knowledge about the coal industry but also allowed them to experience what it was like working in such challenging conditions. As they delved into the depths of darkness within the colliery's underground section, their presence served as both trial run and testament to their resilience. The 80-strong party tested the staff's ability to handle crowds while immersing themselves in an environment that once buzzed with activity and purpose. This poignant image captured during March 1988 encapsulates childhood innocence intersecting with industrial heritage—a reminder of how education can ignite curiosity and bridge generations.
