EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the imposing presence of Penrhiwceibr Colliery in Glamorgan, South Wales, as it stood in 1985, just before its closure. The colliery, located in the small town of Penrhiwceiber, was once a symbol of the region's rich coal mining history. The image showcases the pit head, with its tall, rusted chimney stack reaching towards the sky, belching out plumes of smoke and steam. The winding gear, a testament to the hard labor and dedication of the miners who worked there, stands proudly beside the chimney. The historical significance of the colliery is palpable, as it represents the industry that once fueled the economic growth of the region and the lives of countless families. However, the photograph also serves as a reminder of the environmental cost of the coal mining industry. The thick, grey clouds of pollution that shroud the colliery in this image were a common sight in the region during the height of the coal mining era. The impact of the industry on the environment and the health of the local population is a topic of ongoing debate and concern. The closure of Penrhiwceibr Colliery in 1985 marked the end of an era in the history of coal mining in Wales. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the industry's past, its impact on the region, and the changes that have taken place over time.
