Image description

Lorenzo Marchetta is a nightshift scannerman at The Bolsover Coalite plant, South Yorkshire, UK. Behind him are the lights of a nearby chemical plant. Lorenzo together with other Coalite workers were recruited on mass from impoverished rural villages in southern Italy during the 1950's and 1960's. Coalite was a smokeless fuel that was developed during the late 1930's to reduce smoke pollution caused from burning coal in domestic home fires. The plant at Bolsover UK opened in 1937 and closed in 2004, at its height it employed over 1200 men and was the largest plant of its type in the world.
