Extraction Mining


EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph taken by Dave MacLeod showcases the remnants of a once-thriving lead mine on Cross Fell, Cumbria. The image captures the desolate beauty of this disused mining site and its towering spoil heap, serving as a poignant reminder of the region's industrial past. The photograph offers a unique perspective from above, allowing us to appreciate the scale and impact of human activity on the landscape. From this vantage point, we can see how extensive excavation took place in pursuit of valuable lead deposits that lay beneath these rugged hills. The barren terrain surrounding the abandoned mine is strikingly juxtaposed against the natural beauty of Cross Fell's rolling hills and vast skies. This contrast serves as a visual testament to both man's ability to shape his environment and nature's resilience in reclaiming what was once disturbed. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time from June 2014, we are reminded of the countless individuals who toiled within these mines for their livelihoods. Their labor contributed not only to local economies but also played an integral role in shaping Britain's industrial heritage. Dave MacLeod has skillfully captured not just an aerial view but also a sense of history preserved within this print. It invites contemplation about our relationship with land use, extraction industries' impact on communities, and how places like Cross Fell continue to evolve long after industry ceases operations.
