Yorkshire People & Coal is the third title in Peter Tuffrey's
Yorkshire People series, featuring photographs from the Yorkshire
Post's picture archives. This volume makes use of the wealth of
pictures and information held in the Yorkshire Post's archives on
the county's long association with coal. Peter believes there has
never been a period in coal mining's long history as eventful as
the previous forty to fifty years and many of the pictures
contained here are from that time. Images have been carefully
selected to show how coal has had a wide-ranging effect on
Yorkshire life. Most aspects of colliery life are depicted and not
surprisingly several themes dominate throughout: disasters, strikes
and pit closures. It might be that coal is becoming a fading memory
to those who lived through the trials and tribulations of the past
fifty or more years and present generations might find it hard to
imagine a time when it was relied upon to provide heating, energy
and a means of travel. However it cannot be denied that coal has
left an indelible mark on Yorkshire's long industrial history and
its final glory years are aptly portrayed in Yorkshire People &
Coal.
