EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1922 showcases the industrious spirit of Cornwall's mining history. The image captures a pivotal moment at Tolgarrick Mine in St Stephen-in-Brannel, where the construction of a towering chimney stack is underway. A group of hardworking men and women are gathered around the stack, meticulously attaching cables for the crane that will raise it into place. The scene exudes an air of camaraderie as these Cornish miners come together to tackle this monumental task. Their weathered faces reflect years spent toiling underground, their determination evident in every line etched upon them. It is a testament to their resilience and unwavering commitment to their craft. Set against the backdrop of Cornwall's picturesque landscape, this photograph encapsulates both the beauty and grit that defined life on the surface during this era. The rugged terrain serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by these brave individuals who dedicated themselves to extracting precious minerals from beneath its surface. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this image offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in Cornish history - one that shaped not only local communities but also had far-reaching impacts on global industry. As we study this photograph, we honor those whose labor laid foundations for progress while acknowledging their sacrifices along the way
