'Coal Faces' Hard Cover 

Published 2024

Coal Faces is a story in pictures of the last 60 years of coal mining in Britain, seen through the eyes of some remarkable photographers. As the government finally puts coal mining to bed in favour of renewables and other greener sources of energy, this book is an epitaph to an industry that powered the Industrial Revolution, provided the fuel to heat our homes and ensured we had the tanks, ships, planes and missiles to fight two world wars. 

Seventeen photographers have contributed to this important record, sharing their work and recollections in their own words. Their photographs record the period before the Miners' Strike of 1984-5, the momentous Strike and its aftermath. Each photographer has taken a different perspective, creating collectively an essential tribute to the men, women and communities that made Britain an economic powerhouse.
