EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to February 1904, capturing a remarkable moment in history at Dolcoath Mine in Camborne, Cornwall. The image showcases the sheer determination and resilience of Cornish miners during the early 20th century. In this particular scene, we witness a miner pushing a tram along the tramway at an impressive depth of 220 fathoms. The photographer, John Charles Burrow, skillfully captures the grit etched on the miner's face as he exerts his strength against all odds. It is evident that every muscle is strained as he navigates through dimly lit tunnels deep beneath the surface. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich mining heritage and pays homage to those who toiled tirelessly underground. It encapsulates their unwavering commitment to extract precious minerals from within Earth's depths despite challenging working conditions.
