EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1923, we are transported back to the historic Gwennap United Mines in Poldory, Cornwall. A group of hardworking miners - men and boys alike - take a well-deserved break from their laborious tasks, finding solace outside a modest shed. The image, captured by the talented photographer Samuel John Govier, beautifully encapsulates the essence of Cornish mining life during that era. The scene is filled with intriguing details that offer us glimpses into their world. Men donning caps and boys wearing tattered clothes sit together on worn wooden benches, sharing stories and camaraderie amidst clouds of smoke rising from cigarettes and pipes. The air is thick with the distinct aroma of tobacco as these dedicated workers find respite in their momentary escape. Amidst this tableau lies an unexpected companion - a loyal dog faithfully keeping watch over his human companions. His presence adds an endearing touch to the photograph, symbolizing both companionship and loyalty within this close-knit community. This snapshot captures not only a specific time but also reflects the resilience and determination ingrained in every miner's spirit during those challenging times. It serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich mining heritage while honoring those who toiled tirelessly beneath its surface
