EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from November 1944, we are introduced to the remarkable Mrs. Pittock, a five-foot woman who fearlessly takes on the challenging role of a coalmans job. As the coalman employed by Mr. E. Stone of Mistley, near Colchester, Essex was called up during the Second World War, Mrs. Pittock willingly stepped in to fill his shoes. Radiating brightness and determination, Mrs. Pittock proves that size is no barrier when it comes to hard work and dedication. With her petite frame dwarfed by sacks of coal surrounding her, she showcases an inspiring example of resilience amidst a time when women were breaking barriers in various industries. This powerful image captures not only the strength and tenacity displayed by women during wartime but also highlights their vital contributions to essential industries like coal mining. It serves as a poignant reminder that while men fought on the frontlines during World War II, women played an equally crucial role in keeping society functioning smoothly back home. As we delve into this snapshot from history's memory lane, let us celebrate Mrs. Pittock's unwavering spirit and acknowledge all those unsung heroes who defied societal norms to ensure our communities thrived even in times of adversity.
