EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of Housemans Shaft Engine House at South Phoenix Mine in Minions, Cornwall. Standing as a roofless shell, this historic structure holds within its walls the echoes of a bygone era. Originally known as Wheal Prosper when it opened in the 1830s, this mine later became part of the Cornwall Great United Mines and underwent name changes to Wheal Phoenix and then South Phoenix. Initially focused on copper extraction, the mine shifted its operations to tin as copper reserves dwindled. The mid-19th century saw the addition of this impressive engine house to the site, serving as a testament to Cornish industrial prowess. However, with time marching forward relentlessly, both mine and engine house met their eventual closure in the early 20th century. Today, this once-thriving hub of activity has found new purpose as the Minions Heritage Centre. Preserving its rich mining heritage for future generations to explore and appreciate. Photographed by Eileen Deste between 1960-1976, her lens captured not only an architectural marvel but also conveyed a sense of awe-inspiring desolation that befits such ruins. This image is more than just a snapshot; it is a window into history - one that reminds us of our industrious past and serves as a poignant reminder that all things must eventually succumb to time's unyielding grasp.
