Joe Gilhooley Photography Loanhead Mining Memorial 19th October 2015. Loanhead, my home town. I have wanted to do a series of images at Fountain Green, Loanhead. On the Loanhead Mining Memorial that names the miners killed working in Bilston Glen pit. The autumn leaves in full colour made me dive home for my camera. In one image you see an old man walking away into distance. My Dad who worked in Bilston Glen as an electrician (and Easthouses mine). He knew some of the men named on the memorial. It came to me just in time it was a powerful image in front of me. A former miner walking off. Not staged. He did not know I was taking it. 8th image down page. The next day I photographed the lovely autumn colours around Loanhead War Memorial other latest photograph links   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial (my Dad a former miner walking off in distance - not a staged photo)   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   Loanhead Mining Memorial   back to the top
