EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling Carvedras Smelting Works in Truro, Cornwall around 1870. The tin smelting works stand proudly, with St Georges Road stretching out in front of it. From this vantage point, we can see a glimpse of what would later become Victoria Gardens. To the right of the works stands Brunel's viaduct, an impressive engineering feat that adds to the industrial landscape. Carvedras House takes center stage in this scene, its grandeur contrasting against the backdrop of industry. Notably, there is only one stack visible from the works, suggesting a smaller-scale operation compared to other smelting facilities at that time. As our eyes wander further into the distance, we catch sight of Truro railway station on the skyline—a testament to Cornwall's growing connectivity during this era. The parish church of St George the Martyr and its adjacent vicarage also make their presence known on Richmond Hill; both were constructed just a few years prior in 1855. Although we do not know who specifically captured this remarkable image, it serves as a valuable historical document showcasing Cornwall's mining heritage and rapid development during this period.
