EDITORS COMMENTS

This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the rich mining history of Dolcoath Mine in Camborne, Cornwall. The image showcases the impressive Williams shaft headgear, an architectural marvel built in 1894 that served as a symbol of Cornish mining prowess during the Victorian era. The photographer, John Charles Burrow, skillfully captures the essence of this industrial landscape. The towering headgear stands tall against a backdrop of rugged buildings and structures that dot the surface area. Its intricate design and sturdy construction speak volumes about the dedication and ingenuity of those who worked tirelessly beneath it. In this snapshot from yesteryears, we witness not only a physical representation of mining technology but also catch a glimpse into the lives of hardworking miners who toiled underground. Though absent from this particular frame, their presence is palpable as we imagine them descending deep into dark tunnels with determination etched on their faces. Cornwall's mining heritage is deeply intertwined with its identity and economy. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how these mines shaped communities and fueled innovation during an era when extraction industries were at their peak. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum for future generations to appreciate, this print allows us to reflect upon our past while honoring those who contributed to Cornwall's proud legacy - both above ground and below it.
