This photo was taken by a panoramic camera, 111 years ago. It was in my uncles attic in Bargoed South Wales for most of that time. When he died, his son found it there. I borrowed it and restored it, it took two years and hours of photoshop to remove all the dust and paint and rips. It was taken for the local paper, and marked a day when there was record coal production at Bargoed Colliery. When I look at the photo, I scan all the faces to see my ancestors and history and the toll that coal mining took on the collective community.
