Colliery

We have just finished watching Mrs America, a 9 part drama about feminism in America in the 70s. It was brilliant, fantastic writing and acting, and much better than it sounds like it might be.


I visited the site of Hatfield Colliery north of Doncaster. It was one of the last deep pits to shut, and is on its way to being obliterated altogether. It was not uplifting. But I did manage to get a shot that captured the sordid post-industrial decline that we seem to take for granted.
