EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Children play on the slag heap at Berry Hill May actually be picking coal" we are transported back to April 1965, a time when innocence and adventure intertwined in the lives of youngsters. Set against the backdrop of Staffordshire's Berry Hill, these children find joy amidst an unlikely playground - a towering slag heap. As they climb and explore this unconventional landscape, their tiny hands may not only be grasping onto rocks and dirt but also fragments of history itself. For hidden within those mounds lies something more precious than mere playfulness; it is coal that they unwittingly collect. These young souls unknowingly contribute to their families' livelihoods as they gather fuel for warmth and sustenance. This image evokes a sense of nostalgia, transporting us to an era where life was simpler yet filled with challenges. It reminds us of the bygone days when mining communities thrived, relying on hard work and resilience to make ends meet. The photograph captures both the beauty and harshness of childhood in one frame - innocent smiles juxtaposed against rugged surroundings. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst adversity, children possess an innate ability to find happiness in every situation. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on our own memories from the past while appreciating the strength and resilience displayed by these young adventurers who turned a desolate place into their personal haven.
