EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling mining industry of Tolvaddon Mine, located in Illogan, Cornwall. Taken around 1900, it offers a glimpse into the rich history and industrial landscape that once dominated this region. The image showcases the Tuckingmill valley, with its prominent features beautifully captured. In the foreground stands Cooks Kitchen, an essential building where miners would gather for meals and respite during their arduous workdays. Its presence symbolizes both sustenance and camaraderie within this tight-knit community. On the left side of the frame looms North Roskear engine house against the picturesque skyline. This towering structure served as a vital hub for extracting valuable minerals from deep underground. To the right are arsenic stacks, remnants of a bygone era when this hazardous substance was extracted alongside other minerals. Their eerie presence serves as a reminder of both progress and environmental consequences. Amidst this industrious scene are men diligently going about their daily tasks while accompanied by a loyal canine companion. Their hard work is evident in every detail captured by an unknown photographer who skillfully documented this moment in time. This remarkable print not only provides historical insight but also invites contemplation on human resilience and ingenuity amidst challenging circumstances.
