EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies transports us to the rugged beauty of Cornwall's mining heritage. The image captures the imposing Skip Shaft Headframe of Levant Mine, located in the Geevor Mine section along Levant Road in Trewellard, St. Just. As twilight descends upon this historic site, a mesmerizing play of light and shadows is revealed. The 1960s headframe stands tall and proud against the dusky sky, its silhouette commanding attention as it proudly represents an era long gone but not forgotten. Behind it, we catch a glimpse of the engine houses that once powered this thriving copper mine, their weathered exteriors bearing witness to years of industry and hard work. What truly sets this photograph apart is its unique perspective from the east side. Floodlit at twilight, every detail comes alive under the careful lens of James O. Davies' camera - from intricate architectural features to subtle textures on worn surfaces. As we gaze upon this scene, we are reminded of Cornwall's rich mining history and its significant contribution to Britain's industrial past. This Grade II listed monument serves as a poignant reminder of those who toiled underground in search of precious minerals that fueled economic growth for generations. James O. Davies has masterfully captured both the grandeur and melancholy inherent in these abandoned structures; his photograph invites us to reflect on our collective heritage while appreciating their enduring beauty amidst nature's embrace.
