 We are pleased to announce that Frank Grimshaw's "Pitmen" will be on view in the Bob Carnie Gallery for the CONTACT Photography Festival. Thought to be taken in support of a recruitment campaign in the 1960s by the National Coal Board, these negatives were almost lost forever when their offices closed a decade later.
The surviving negatives were kept safe in a wardrobe for years but only in recent years has the public been able to engage with these beautiful images. This collection is a beloved family heirloom and we are so fortunate to have Frank Grimshaw's work on display in our gallery. Gallery Hours Tuesday: 9:30am - 4:00pm Wednesday: 9:30am - 4:00pm Thursday: 9:30am - 4:00pm Friday: 9:30am - 4:00pm Saturday: 11:00am - 3:00pm Sunday: 11:00am - 3:00pm
