EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of young workmen and apprentices of the Skewen Colliery repair shop in Glamorgan, South Wales, taken in 1907. The image offers a glimpse into the lives of these Edwardian-era coal miners, showcasing their youthful faces, folded arms, and the various hats adorning their heads - a mix of flat caps and bowler hats. The setting is the colliery workshop, a place where the men honed their skills and kept the mining machinery in working order. The boys, some barely in their teens, are seen learning from their elders, absorbing valuable knowledge and expertise that would serve them well in their future careers. The conditions under which these men worked were often harsh and demanding, yet they persevered, driven by the need to provide for their families and contribute to the coal mining industry that was the backbone of the South Wales economy. The photograph is a testament to the importance of tradesmanship and the passing down of skills from one generation to the next. It also highlights the class divide that was prevalent during this period, with the workmen and apprentices standing proudly before their workshop, while their manager or boss remains unseen in the background. As we gaze upon this historical image, we are reminded of the rich industrial heritage of Wales and the resilience of its people. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, while also inspiring us to appreciate the value of hard work, skill, and the importance of passing down knowledge from one generation to the next.
