1875 Cottages Miners Props Rundown
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a row of Scottish miners' cottages, known as The Red Town, located in the Jordanhill district in the year 1875. The red sandstone buildings, with their steeply pitched roofs and small windows, stand as a testament to the hardworking community that once thrived in this area. The cottages were built to house the families of the coal miners who labored in the nearby pits, providing them with a modest and functional home. The props scattered around the scene, such as the coal sacks and empty barrels, serve as reminders of the daily life and struggles of the miners and their families. The rundown condition of some of the cottages hints at the economic and social challenges faced by this community during the late 19th century. Despite the hardships, the residents of The Red Town created a close-knit community, with a rich cultural heritage and strong sense of solidarity. The photograph offers a glimpse into a historical period that played a significant role in shaping the identity of Scotland's industrial past. The Red Town is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and resilience of the Scottish miners and their families, whose stories continue to be an important part of Scotland's history.
