EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the deserted street of single-storey miners' cottages in Coatbridge, Lanarkshire, a once thriving mining and iron-producing area to the east of Glasgow. Circa 1936, the scene presents a stark contrast to the bustling community that once inhabited these humble abodes. The row of houses, each with their small gardens and washing lines, now stand empty and silent, a testament to the economic hardships that had befallen the region. The iron industry, the lifeblood of Coatbridge, had been in decline, leading to mass unemployment and poverty. Many families were forced to seek assistance from the local workhouse or emigrate in search of better opportunities. The desolate scene is further accentuated by the barren trees and grey skies, reflecting the somber mood of the time. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of industrial decline and the resilience of those who endured the hardships.
