The Blackball Mine face - Bob Mountford and Peter Mountford PHOTO ALBUM

About this image

DescriptionCeol Mhor: It is taken in the Blackball mine at the face. In the pic is my Dad, Bob Mountford and the one behind is his brother, we are unsure which one. My thoughts are it could be Ces or Peter Mountford, a bit tall for Ces I think.

It is interesting to see they are both wearing carbide (acetylene) lamps. Obviously the Blackball mine was considered to be gas-free. Thanks for sharing the picture.

Neville Burt
Excellent photographs and dont they illustrate well what a miner endured .
