Photographic Print : Smoke rising from the chimneys of the main colliery at Askern, Yorkshire
Photo Prints from Fine Art Storehouse
Smoke rising from the chimneys of the main colliery at Askern, Yorkshire
The colliery stood on the Permian limestone ridge overlooking the village of Askern. In the late 1920s a Coalite (smokeless fuel) plant was built next door. This took part of Askerns output and worked until 1986. The low price of coal led to serious financial losses and Askern closed on December 20th 1991

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Val Doone captures the industrial landscape of Askern, Yorkshire in a moment frozen in time. The image showcases the main colliery, its chimneys billowing thick smoke into the sky, symbolizing the bustling activity and hard work that once defined this area. Perched on top of a Permian limestone ridge overlooking the village of Askern, this colliery was not alone in shaping the region's history. Adjacent to it stood a Coalite plant built during the late 1920s. This facility played a significant role in transforming part of Askern's coal output into smokeless fuel until its closure in 1986. However, despite their historical significance and contribution to local industry, these structures faced financial challenges due to plummeting coal prices. These hardships eventually led to serious losses for Askern Colliery and forced its closure on December 20th, 1991. Val Doone's photograph serves as an evocative reminder of both the triumphs and struggles experienced by this once-thriving mining community. It invites viewers to reflect upon how economic forces can shape landscapes and communities over time.
