EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to a significant era in history, capturing the resilience and strength of women working as coal screeners at Lyme Pit in Lancashire. The image showcases their faces covered in soot, a stark reminder of the harsh conditions they endured daily. It is November 1948, and these remarkable women are seen coming off their shift, ready to wash away the grime that clings to them. The pithead showers stand as symbols of both practicality and dignity for these hardworking individuals. As they gather around the shower area, we witness an act of self-care amidst an industry known for its tough nature. The photograph beautifully captures this moment where hygiene becomes paramount after hours spent laboring underground. In this snapshot frozen in time, we glimpse into the lives of these unsung heroes who played a vital role in coal mining during the 1940s. Their determination shines through despite being overshadowed by their male counterparts. This powerful image serves as a testament to their unwavering spirit and dedication. Sunday Pictorial's lens has immortalized this poignant scene with utmost respect for those involved.
