EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the heart of Cornwall's mining heritage with this print from 1892. The image, captured by renowned photographer John Charles Burrow, transports us to East Pool Mine in Illogan. A group of nine hardworking miners proudly pose alongside Burrow's own son, who stands front and center, second from the left. Dressed in their traditional Cornish attire, these brave souls epitomize the resilience and camaraderie that defined the era. Their felt hats provide protection against falling debris while candles illuminate their determined faces as they delve deep into the dark depths of the mine. As you gaze at this snapshot frozen in time, it is impossible not to imagine what a typical day at East Pool Mine entailed. Perhaps it was 'croust time, ' a cherished moment when these men would gather for lunch – or 'croust' as they called it – savoring hearty pasties filled with savory meats and vegetables. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich mining history and its impact on generations past. It encapsulates both the hardships endured by those who toiled underground and the strong sense of community that bound them together. Thanks to Royal Cornwall Museum's dedication to preserving our cultural heritage, we can now appreciate this remarkable piece of history that captures an authentic slice of life during one of Cornwall's most pivotal eras.
