East Pool Mine, Illogan, Cornwall. 1893
A bridge has been constructed at the 170 fathoms level to carry the tram road over a place where the lode has been stoped away. While two miners carry out works above the tram road bridge, another miner pushes a tub filled with rock/ore across the bridge. The miners, probably testing the strength of the roof, are balanced on top of the bridge with apparently little concern for the yawning abyss below them. Photographer: John Charles Burrow

EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph, taken in 1893, captures a moment in time at East Pool Mine in Illogan, Cornwall. The image showcases the industrious spirit of the Victorian mining era, with three miners skillfully navigating their daily tasks amidst the treacherous conditions of the underground mine. The bridge in the foreground, constructed at the 170 fathoms level, serves as a crucial passageway for the tram road. The miners, dressed in heavy workwear, are seen carrying out essential maintenance works above the bridge. Balanced precariously on top of the bridge, they appear unfazed by the yawning abyss below, focusing intently on their tasks. In the background, a miner pushes a tub filled with rock or ore across the bridge, likely testing the structure's strength. The trolley or tram, an essential component of the mine's transportation system, can be seen extending from the bridge, disappearing into the darkness of the mine. The image offers a glimpse into the challenging and dangerous working conditions of the Cornish miners during this period. Despite the risks, their determination and resilience shines through, making this photograph a fascinating window into the past." Photographer John Charles Burrow skillfully captured this moment, preserving it for future generations to appreciate the ingenuity and hard work that shaped Cornwall's rich mining history.
