EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a moment in time outside the CISWO paraplegic centre in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, in 1960. Two disabled Bond cars sit parked outside the entrance of this important facility, which was run by the Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation (CISWO). The residents of the centre were miners who had suffered life-altering accidents while working underground. The image showcases not only the vehicles but also the surrounding environment. A tree-lined avenue leads to the entrance of the building, providing a peaceful backdrop for those seeking healthcare and support. The monochrome tones add a sense of nostalgia and highlight both the resilience and challenges faced by these individuals. The Bond cars themselves symbolize independence and freedom for those with disabilities during this era. These specially adapted vehicles allowed individuals to regain some control over their lives, enabling them to navigate roads and transport themselves more easily. Photographed by Michael Walters from Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , this image is a testament to both human strength and compassion. It serves as a reminder of how organizations like CISWO played an essential role in supporting injured workers within Britain's coal industry community during that time period.
