EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Determined not to be 'out of it'" we are transported back to the 1940s, a time when coal mining was at its peak in Throckley, Northumberland. The image captures the heartwarming bond between hardworking miners and their loyal companions. The opening of a pithead canteen at Isabella Pit marked an important milestone for these dedicated individuals who toiled tirelessly underground. As the miners gathered together for this special occasion, one furry friend refused to be left out. With unwavering determination, he squeezed himself into the picture, showcasing his undeniable status as the favorite pet among these brave men. This snapshot encapsulates both the resilience and camaraderie that defined life in this coal mining community. Amidst grueling work conditions and long hours spent deep within the earth's belly, these miners found solace and joy in each other's company - even welcoming their four-legged friends into their close-knit circle. As they hold up their cups - symbols of brief respite from arduous labor - you can almost hear laughter echoing through the air. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of simpler times when loyalty ran deep and friendships were forged amidst adversity. Preserved by NCJ on Memory Lane Prints, this evocative image transports us back to an era where industry thrived on human perseverance and unity. It is a testament to those unsung heroes who risked everything below ground while finding comfort in simple pleasures above it
