We had a day visiting two sites connected with the 1862 New Hartley Pit disaster. The Memorial Garden (the site of the shaft) has had a new pathway laid with all the names of the dead plus some words concerning the incident. St Albans Church yard is where most of the victims were buried.

Thanks Excalibur. I find myself reaching for the OM10 much more often nowadays as it is nice handling and the results satisfy me. |

I'd go back to that path and photograph it again this time with people near it.
That would be an interesting contrast.

I don't have people in the shot, Orio, but I do have more of the surroundings in this shot. The square structure is the top of the shaft and the round one was a shallow ventilation shaft but, unfortunately, did not go all the way down to the level the miners were trapped on.

That's an interesting location Skida, thanks for sharing.
I am getting the following vision in mind after seeing this photo: I can envision young people, possibly the sons and daughters, or grand-sons and grand-daughters, of the people died,
sitting along the path, as a stream of life that continues alongside with the memory of their (grand)parents.
I realize that it would be a difficult thing to stage, but it's a very strong powerful image I have in my mind,
I would be delighted to realize it with a photograph.

Unfortunately, due to the number of fathers AND sons killed in this tragedy, just about impossible.  |
