EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the remarkable engineering feat that is the Rhondda Tunnel. The image showcases sections of tunnel lining, meticulously drawn with intricate details and precision. It serves as a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship employed during its construction. The Rhondda Tunnel, located in South Wales, was an ambitious project undertaken by Network Rail's predecessors over a century ago. Stretching for approximately three miles beneath the rugged Welsh landscape, this marvel of Victorian engineering connected two bustling mining communities – Treherbert and Blaencwm. Intriguingly, this particular drawing also includes references to another nearby tunnel known as Celli Tunnel. These interconnected tunnels were vital arteries that facilitated transportation of coal from deep within the mines to ports across Britain during an era when coal was king. Beyond its historical significance, this print evokes a sense of awe at human determination and perseverance in conquering nature's obstacles. It reminds us of our ability to overcome challenges through innovation and collaboration. As we admire this snapshot from history, let us appreciate not only the physical structure depicted but also acknowledge the countless lives impacted by these tunnels – miners who risked their lives daily underground and communities forever transformed by industrial progress
