After the local pits closed this was the devastated village of Thurnscoe, South Yorkshire, UK.

Once a prosperous community, it and the whole are were hit hard by unemployment and dereliction.

From my project:-    After the Coal

Camera was a Leica M6 using a Leica Elmarit 21mm lens.

Film was Kodak TRI-X.

A Wonderful & Powerful set of images, definitely a lump in throat time"  

( On a work related visit (many moons ago) to Westminster, I was honored to meet Tony Benn.. Though not in your class of images, I have quite a few non Leica film images regarding the changing face of Dagenham Docks..(thanks to M. Thatcher & her Cohorts)    L

The very first picture that I took for my project   "After the Coal".

A project about how the communities of former coal mining areas have coped following the closure of the industry between 1984 and 1992. I am still working on it and I regularly visit ex mining areas - I was actually in Durham the day that lockdown started back in March of 2020 and I was intending to go to Easington Colliery Village the next day but as with everything else, the trip had to be curtailed and I returned home.

These kids were playing on the slag heap at Glasshoughton Colliery, Castleford, West Yorkshire.

The site is now  Glasshoughton Retail Park and the Escape Cinema Complex just off the M62.

Picture was taken on a Leica M2 Camera using a Type 1 Rigid 50mm Summicron Lens. I don't think that I would take a picture involving children today but way back in 1984 the world was a more innocent place and nobody questioned your motives.

An interesting back story to this is that I put this picture on a Castleford FB page and a couple of the kids now adults contacted me and I was able to send them prints of the pic.

Film was Ilford FP4.

All powerful stuff, very well recorded too. The mining communities had it very tough. I grew up in the North in the 60s and 70s and saw, first hand, the slow and painful demise of the shipbuilding industry in those years; my father was a shipyard worker.

Thanks for posting the series.

See what you think

Well in the first place I must say that this Kentmere film and how you handled it has nice deep blacks. I prefer the first photo, because the second has too dominant shadows and a disturbing highlight. But maybe I shouldn’t compare because it’s what you want to convey and maybe the second is more realistic for a mineworker at work with his lamp.

Paul, I agree with Otto, speaking as simply a viewer and not the artist creating the image.

I totally agree with your comments on the R8 and have always considered that flash exposure measuring function on the R8 as superb. Why it has never been incorporated into future cams I will never know. Like you, I 99% prefer available light technique (these days) but well remember when I oft used that flash feature.
