EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the St Ives Consols Mine in Cornwall on a significant day - 17th June 1910. The image captures a pivotal moment as the first mortar block is being set at the Giew battery, marking an important milestone for this bustling mining operation. In this snapshot of history, we see a group of nine dedicated workmen proudly posing beneath shear legs that support a massive timber constructed block. Each man exudes strength and determination, ready to contribute their skills to this ambitious endeavor. The first worker on the left firmly grips a steel bar, symbolizing his role in shaping and securing this vital structure. Standing next to him is another laborer holding a spirit level with precision, ensuring accuracy and stability. Photographer Samuel John Govier skillfully captures not only the physicality of these workers but also their unwavering commitment to their craft. Their weathered faces tell tales of hard work and resilience amidst challenging conditions underground. This photograph serves as a testament to Edwardian-era industry and Cornish mining heritage. It reminds us of the immense contributions made by generations past who labored tirelessly underground, fueling economic growth and shaping local communities. As we admire this remarkable piece from our past, let us reflect upon its historical significance while honoring those whose dedication built foundations for future prosperity – all within the hallowed grounds of St Ives Consols Mine.
