EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past of coal mining in the early 1900s. The image, estimated to be dated around the late Victorian or Edwardian era, portrays the intricate process of fitting roof supports deep within a coal mine. The scene is set in a dimly lit mine, with the only source of light coming from a single hanging lantern. The miners, dressed in heavy work clothes and protective headgear, are carefully positioning timber props to support the mine's unstable roof. The wooden supports are held in place by metal clamps, which are secured with large bolts. The miners work in a coordinated effort, ensuring each prop is placed in the correct position to prevent the roof from collapsing. The intricacy of the roof support system is evident in the photograph, with the various props and beams interlocking to create a complex network that holds up the mine's ceiling. The image provides a fascinating insight into the dangerous and labor-intensive nature of coal mining during this time period. The use of lanterns and timber props were essential in coal mining during the early 1900s, as they provided the only source of light and support in the dark and unstable mine conditions. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the hardships and challenges faced by coal miners during this era, and the crucial role they played in providing the energy that powered the industrial revolution.
