Description
The poster features an image of a young miner seated on a carriage. It was produced in order to promote a new mining apprenticeship sceme from the National Coal Board, around 1965
The newly nationalised mines seemed to offer continuous full employment in coalfield areas after World War II. This poster uses a phrase made familiar to young people from a 1965 Beatles' hit of the same name.
