EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph presents a view of the disused Wheal Jane tin mine in West Cornwall, located near Baldhu and Chacewater. The image, taken in the 1980s, captures the haunting beauty of the industrial landscape as the sun sets, casting an orange hue over the cloudy sky. The silhouetted machinery and wheels of the mine stand still, a testament to the rich history of Cornish mining that once thrived in this region. The Wheal Jane mine was a significant contributor to Cornwall's mining industry, extracting tin and other minerals for over three centuries. However, by the 1980s, the mine had been closed due to declining profits and the exhaustion of mineral reserves. The scene depicted in this photograph captures the poignant moment when the industry that once defined this region began to fade into history. The rusting machinery and wheels, now silent and still, contrast sharply against the dynamic and ever-changing sky. The clouds roll in, adding a sense of drama and mystery to the image. The orange glow of the sun sets the mood, creating an ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, a reminder of the industrial heritage that shaped Cornwall's landscape and identity. It invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the transformative power of nature as it reclaims the remnants of human industry.
