More about this scene
Aneurin Bevin, Tredegar's most famous son, wrote of the coalminer's lot: 'In other trades, there are a thousand diversions to break the monotony of the work - the passing traffic, the morning newspaper, above all the sky, the sunshine and the rain. The miner has none of these. Every day for eight hours he dies, gives up a slice of his life and buries himself'.
