Cymmer Colliery, film negative
Collings, Joseph (Photographer Joseph Collings was based at 47 Bute Street, Cardiff. He is last seen in newspaper adverts and trade directories in 1875 and thereafter the business was continued by his widow and son, operating under his wife's name Margaret Robinson 'M.R.Collings'.)
Cornwell, John (Mr) (John Cornwell was a freelance photographer who took many photographs of collieries, mostly in south Wales and the English Midlands, both underground and on the surface, during the 1970s and early 1980s. He perfected a method of underground photography using the standard colliery lighting and was able to photograph coal faces, roadways, shafts and equipment with amazing clarity. In addition to photographing working mines he also recorded abandoned mine workings, above and below ground.
John Cornwell was also well respected in the broader field of industrial archaeology. He published a number of books on Welsh and English collieries.
The copyright of his south Wales images are now owned by Amgueddfa Cymru - Museum Wales.)
