DescriptionWestport School of Mines around 1950. My father (Bill Pearson) standing at the back was the Director up to the time the school was closed about 1954. The miners must have scrubbed up from their jobs before going to night school.Date of Photo1950Map^[1]ContributorGrant Pearson

Great pic! I never knew that miners "went back to school" Makes sense, really. EVERYTHING needs learning/education.

In the days of strong focus on safety management equal to technical aspects of coal mining, all went out the window with change to law that clearly has been a massive mistake.

Superb capture of a special time
