EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of Victorian mining in St Agnes, Cornwall. The image showcases the renowned Blue Hills Mine during its operation between 1892 and 1893. The focal point of this photograph is undoubtedly the sturdy timber props that support the mine's tunnels, creating an intricate network beneath our feet. These wooden structures stand tall and proud, a testament to both human ingenuity and necessity in extracting precious minerals from deep within the earth. Intriguingly positioned amidst this industrial marvel is a lone miner, his silhouette blending seamlessly with his surroundings. His presence adds a touch of humanity to an otherwise mechanical scene, reminding us of the tireless efforts made by these courageous individuals who risked their lives daily for their craft. Renowned photographer John Charles Burrow skillfully captures this moment in time, freezing it forever within this remarkable print. Through his lens, we are transported back over a century ago when mining was at its peak in Cornwall. As we gaze upon this historical treasure, we cannot help but appreciate both the beauty and harshness inherent in such an industry. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our ancestors' resilience and determination while simultaneously honoring their contribution to shaping Cornish history through mining endeavors like those undertaken at Blue Hills Mine.
