Miners' lockers, Blaenavon


Over the year end holiday our planned family walk involving a Welsh mountain was abandoned due to persistent rain, and instead we headed for Big Pit at Blaenavon, a museum based around one of the last operating coal mines in Wales. We went underground, but since no items involving a battery were allowed down there no photographs were possible! However, there were some of the disused above ground buildings to look at and I got a couple of reasonable shots. This one shows part of the building containing rows of miners' lockers for the couple of hundred men who worked the pit. At the centre is a photograph of the lockers in use.
