Ov er one year in 1996, Roger Tiley gained permission to photograph all aspects at Tower Colliery, the last deep coal mine in the south Wales coal field. The mine was purchased by the miners and they ran the colliery successfully until its closure in 2008.
The remarkable photographs in this book documents life underground, on the colliery surface and around the local community. The black and white images graphically tell the story of a dying breed of men and their families who in many cases, were the third and forth generation of mining stock.
