The Universal Colliery, 1963

The Universal Colliery architecture as it was in 1963, 50 years following the major explosion. This photograph is an eerie commemoration of the colliery site and is another outstanding image by photographer, Glyn Davies. In this frame he has captured a solemn scene, wonderfully executed, which I could look at for hours.
