EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the early 1900s showcases the hardworking women known as Pit Brow Lasses at Wigan Junction Colliery. These fearless and determined women played a crucial role in the mining industry during a time when it was predominantly male-dominated.
The image captures a moment frozen in time, with the lasses proudly posing in their traditional work attire, complete with aprons and headscarves. Their faces tell stories of resilience and strength as they toil away in the coal mines of Lancashire, England.
The vintage lantern slide transports us back to an era where manual labor was grueling and often dangerous. Despite facing harsh conditions underground, these women persevered with unwavering dedication to support themselves and their families.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the invaluable contributions made by these unsung heroines of Victorian England. Their legacy lives on through images like this one, preserving their place in history for future generations to admire and respect.
The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection has done a remarkable job of capturing the essence of these Pit Brow Lasses, allowing us a glimpse into their world over a century ago. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by working-class women throughout history.
