EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Hook Colliery in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, during the 1930s. The image showcases the timber pithead gear, a testament to the region's rich coal mining history. The wooden structure, with its intricate details and weathered appearance, stands proudly in the middle distance, surrounded by a few modest buildings. The scene transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the industrial past of this beautiful Welsh county. Hook Colliery, located near Haverfordwest, was once a significant contributor to the region's economy. The colliery's wooden pithead gear, a unique feature, was an essential part of the mining process, lifting coal from the depths of the earth. The use of wood for this critical infrastructure was common during the early 20th century, as it was a readily available and cost-effective material. The buildings in the background, with their simple yet functional design, further emphasize the industrious spirit of the community. The coal mine, though now a relic of the past, played a vital role in shaping the history and identity of Pembrokeshire. This photograph serves as a reminder of the region's industrial heritage, a time when the mining industry thrived, and the people of Wales worked together to extract the valuable resources from the earth.
