EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures a group of skilled craftsmen in South Wales diligently overhauling lamps during the Great Coal Strike of 1921. The coal industry was a significant contributor to the economy of South Wales, and the region was known for its vast coal mines and intricate network of underground tunnels. However, the working conditions were often hazardous, and strikes were a common occurrence as miners demanded better wages, working hours, and safety measures. During the Great Coal Strike, which lasted from February to October 1921, thousands of miners across South Wales and other coal-mining regions in the UK went on strike, bringing the coal industry to a standstill. As the strike dragged on, the need for alternative sources of light became increasingly important, and these craftsmen played a crucial role in ensuring that the lamps used by the miners were in good working order. The photograph shows the craftsmen intently focused on their work, each man meticulously repairing and overhauling lamps one by one. Their dexterity and manual skills are evident as they handle the delicate components with care. The scene is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Welsh people during a time of hardship and adversity. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, were marked by significant social and cultural changes, but for the people of South Wales, the decade was also defined by the challenges posed by the coal industry and the determination of the craftsmen who kept the region's essential workforce supplied with the tools they needed to carry on."
