Subject: Museum Photo of Miners

I have come across a photo entitiled 'Somerset miners brought to Abertillery to work the long wall system in the coal mines 19th Century' it is in Abertillery Museum. One of the miners looks very much like my Husband, his Great Grandfather was a Coal Miner from Somerset. Does anyone know approximately when this photo was taken and if there are any records of miners etc? Also how long the Somerset Miners were there, where they lived etc? His name was Elijah Heale born Kilmersdon c1826.
Any information would be gratefully received.
