EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the silhouette of the Headgear of Geevor Tin Mine in Pendeen, Cornwall, against the dramatic backdrop of the sky. The mine, which closed its doors in April 1986, is a testament to the rich mining history of this region in the southwest of England. The Cornish tin mining industry, which dates back to the Bronze Age, has long been a significant part of the local culture and economy. The Headgear, a traditional structure used to raise and lower mine shafts, stands tall and proud against the darkening clouds, its metal frame contrasting with the lighter hues of the sky. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, when the mining industry was a major employer in the area and the daily rhythm of life revolved around the demands of the mines. Despite the passage of time and the cessation of underground work at Geevor, the Headgear remains a powerful symbol of Cornwall's industrial heritage. It serves as a reminder of the hard work and determination of the miners who toiled beneath the earth to extract valuable minerals, and of the unique character and resilience of the communities that grew up around the mines. This photograph, taken in the 1980s, offers a glimpse into the past and invites us to reflect on the importance of preserving the stories and traditions of our industrial heritage for future generations.
