Chambered Tomb Mining Industry Monument Neolithic Prehistoric Victorian Cornish Heritage
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive transports us back in time to the mesmerizing landscape of Madron, Cornwall. The image showcases the iconic Lanyon Quoit, a chambered tomb dating back to the Neolithic period, standing proudly against a backdrop of history and industry. The photograph was taken between 1919 and 1936, capturing an era when Victorian influence still resonated strongly in this part of Cornwall. In the distance, we catch a glimpse of the Greenburrow Engine House at Ding Dong Mine - a testament to Cornwall's rich mining heritage. Lanyon Quoit itself is an awe-inspiring monument that has withstood centuries of change. Its imposing stone structure stands as a reminder of our prehistoric ancestors' ingenuity and reverence for their departed loved ones. The juxtaposition between this ancient relic and the nearby engine house serves as a powerful visual representation of how human civilization has evolved over time. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene captured by Historic England Archive, we are reminded not only of our collective past but also our responsibility to preserve and protect these cultural treasures for future generations. This photograph invites us to reflect on both our Cornish heritage and the enduring legacy left behind by those who came before us.
