EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Anderton Shearer Mining Memorial, a poignant tribute to the lives lost in the British coal mining industry. The bronze sculpture, created by renowned artist Arthur Fleischmann, was originally situated as a fountain at Anderton House, the National Coal Board's headquarters in Lowton, Lancashire, during the post-war era. The memorial, titled "Miners' Memorial," was unveiled in 1963-5 and features three miners, each depicted in a contemplative pose, symbolizing the hardships and camaraderie experienced in the coal mines. The sculpture's intricate details and lifelike expressions convey the human element of mining, emphasizing the sacrifices made by the miners and their families. In 2015, the memorial was relocated to Rivington Colliery roundabout in St. Helens, Merseyside, where it continues to stand as a reminder of the region's rich mining heritage. The sculpture's new location at the roundabout, a busy intersection, ensures that it remains accessible to the public and serves as a testament to the resilience and dedication of the miners. Photographed by Alun Bull, this image offers a unique perspective of the memorial, showcasing its intricate details and the serene atmosphere that surrounds it. The play of light and shadow on the bronze surface adds depth and texture to the image, making it a powerful visual representation of the Anderton Shearer Mining Memorial and the history it embodies.
