EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from February 1939, we are introduced to the remarkable Miss Hannah Turner of Shevington near Wigan. Standing proudly beside her trusty horse and coal lorry, Miss Turner defies all expectations as a woman in her late fifties who continues to conduct her own coal business. The image exudes strength and determination, capturing the essence of a bygone era when hard work was an integral part of daily life. The juxtaposition of Miss Turner's elegant attire against the ruggedness of the coal lorry symbolizes her resilience in a male-dominated industry. As she gazes confidently into the camera lens, one can't help but admire Miss Turner's unwavering spirit. Her dedication to providing essential fuel for homes during a time when coal was vital is truly commendable. This photograph not only documents an individual's triumph over societal norms but also serves as a testament to the importance of horses in transportation during that era. It reminds us that progress often comes at the expense of losing touch with simpler yet equally effective methods. Miss Hannah Turner's story is one that deserves recognition and admiration. Her legacy lives on through this powerful image, reminding us all that age should never be seen as an obstacle to pursuing our passions or making meaningful contributions within our communities.
