EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the rugged landscapes of West Wheal Kitty, Trevellas Coombe in St Agnes, Cornwall. The image captures a significant moment before 1915 when the dressing floors at Jericho were still bustling with activity, just prior to their closure. In this snapshot frozen in history, we witness the essence of Cornish mining heritage. The scene is filled with an air of industriousness as workers laboriously go about their tasks amidst towering stacks of rocks and machinery. Their determined faces tell stories of resilience and dedication that defined the lives of these miners. The composition offers a glimpse into a bygone era where manual labor was paramount and technology had yet to dominate. It's fascinating to observe how these men skillfully maneuvered through treacherous terrains while extracting valuable minerals from deep within the earth. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of Cornwall's rich mining legacy but also pays homage to those who worked tirelessly underground, often under perilous conditions. It invites us to reflect on their contributions and sacrifices that shaped both local communities and global industries. As we delve into this visual treasure trove preserved by the Royal Cornwall Museum, let us appreciate its historical significance while acknowledging that it holds more than just commercial value - it encapsulates an entire way of life etched forever in our collective memory.
