EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this vintage print is a fascinating glimpse into the industrial landscape of Carvedras Smelting Works, Truro, Cornwall around 1892. The photograph showcases a general view of the bustling tin smelting works, with diligent workmen scattered outside its premises. Standing tall and proud in the background is Brunel's iconic viaduct, serving as a testament to engineering marvels of that era. This particular snapshot likely dates back to 1892 when Daubuz and Company joined forces with Bolitho, Sons and Company and R. R. Michell and Company to establish the Consolidated Tin Smelting Company Ltd of Penzance. However, despite its promising beginnings, fate had different plans for this enterprise as it sadly closed its doors in 1898. The identity of the photographer behind this remarkable image remains unknown but their skillful composition allows us to transport ourselves back in time. This scene encapsulates not only Cornwall's rich mining heritage but also highlights the pivotal role played by railways within this industry. As we delve into history through photographs like these from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded of how industries rise and fall over time while leaving an indelible mark on society.
