EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant moment in history - the 26th of October, 1895. The image captures an important event at Dolcoath Mine in Camborne, Cornwall: the ceremonial cutting of the first sod for what would later be known as Williams Shaft or New Shaft. In this black and white snapshot, we witness a group of determined individuals gathered around a freshly dug trench. They are adorned in traditional Cornish mining attire, their faces etched with anticipation and pride. With shovels held high, they prepare to break ground on this new chapter for Dolcoath Mine. As our eyes wander beyond the ceremony itself, we glimpse the sprawling mine workings stretching into the distance. A testament to Cornwall's rich mining heritage, these intricate structures stand tall against a backdrop dominated by All Saints Church in Tuckingmill. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its portrayal of an auspicious moment but also in its ability to transport us back to an era defined by hard work and determination. It serves as a reminder of how integral mining was to Cornwall's identity and economy during that time. Preserved within these frames is not just an image but also a story waiting to be told - one that speaks volumes about Cornish resilience and innovation amidst challenging conditions underground.
