"From Surface Workers to Glen Canyon Dam: A Journey Through Industrial Buildings" Step back in time to the 1890s at Dolcoath Mine, Camborne, Cornwall, where dedicated surface workers labored tirelessly to extract precious minerals from deep within the earth. Tincroft Mine in Illogan, Cornwall witnessed the rise during the late 1800s as miners delved into the depths of the earth's riches. Fast forward to 1971 and Polkerris in Tywardreath, Cornwall emerges as a bustling hub of industry with modern structures shaping its skyline. The roots of industrialization run deep at Dolcoath Mine since its establishment in 1831, marking a significant milestone in Cornwall's mining history. Polkerris continues to evolve through time; by 1975 it had transformed into an even more vibrant center for industrial activities and architectural marvels. Across continents lies Glen Canyon Dam on Lake Powell - a testament to human engineering prowess amidst Arizona's breathtaking landscapes under sunny skies. In both 1971 and 1975, Polkerris stood tall as an emblem of progress and innovation within Tywardreath, Cornwall - forever etching itself into local history books. Traveling further north brings us to Friars Mills in Leicester, East Midlands - an integral part of England's industrial heritage that has shaped countless lives over centuries.
