EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in the rich history of Cornwall's tin mining industry, specifically in the King Edwards Mine near Camborne. The image depicts miners making their way from the sixty- to the fifty-fathom level, a crucial transition in the deep shaft mining process. Dressed in heavy clothing, helmets, and carrying lanterns with flickering candles, the miners ascend the ladder, supported by sturdy struts and metal rungs. The sixty-fathom level, at a depth of approximately 120 meters, was a significant milestone in the mining process as it marked the transition from wet to dry mining conditions. The miners' faces are etched with determination and focus, their bodies lean and strong from the physically demanding labor. The ladder, which extends upwards into darkness, symbolizes the dangerous and arduous journey they undertake daily to extract the precious metals that fueled Cornwall's economy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The use of candles for illumination, a common practice in deep-shaft mining, adds to the atmospheric and historical significance of the image. The wooden supports and metal struts, worn and weathered from years of use, serve as a reminder of the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the miners and the industry as a whole. This photograph, taken circa 1900, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a poignant and powerful reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by the miners of Cornwall in the pursuit of tin and other valuable metals. The image is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, and a valuable historical record of Cornwall's rich mining heritage.
