This souvenir captures an extraordinary and highly unusual royal engagement during Her Majesty's historic visit to Silverwood Colliery in Yorkshire to mark its centenary celebrations in July 1975. The scene depicts the Queen dressed in striking protective white overalls and a hard hat as she boldly descends 600 yards underground to walk along the working coalface. Stooping through the narrow subterranean tunnels alongside local miners and pit managers, the image stands as a powerful testament to her hands-on dedication to understanding the grueling daily labor of Britain's industrial workforce. It features a vibrant, high-quality period portrait of the Queen during this historic 1982 milestone, beautifully conveying the serene atmosphere of the grand estate and the enduring legacy of her early decades on the throne. It is unused in absolute mint condition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Postcard Finder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56971463393606,"sku":null,"price":3.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/3216\/9030\/files\/20260718_034.jpg?v=1784364427","url":"https:\/\/postcardfinder.co.uk\/products\/silverwood-colliery-white-overalls-royal-visit-1975-queen-elizabeth-ii-rare-postcard","provider":"Postcard Finder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
