EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1913, capturing a picturesque scene of Lee Mill, also known as Coombe Mill, nestled in the charming village of Morwenstow, Cornwall. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the impressive overshot waterwheel on the right side of the frame. Its grandeur and intricate design speak volumes about Cornwall's rich industrial history. In the foreground, we see a stack of timber carefully arranged with precision. A wheeled trolley rests on a narrow track nearby, hinting at the bustling activity that once took place within these walls. This mill was not just any ordinary structure; it served as a vital hub for lumber production during its heyday. Built in 1842 and still operational well into the mid-20th century, Lee Mill played an essential role in supporting local industry and providing employment opportunities for countless individuals. Photographer John Charles Burrow has expertly captured this moment frozen in time – an homage to an era when manual labor powered Cornwall's economy. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, let us appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder of our industrious past while showcasing Cornwall's natural resources like wood that fueled economic growth throughout generations.
