EDITORS COMMENTS

This print from 1893 showcases the Dolcoath Mine in Camborne, Cornwall. The image titled "The stulls at 412 level" offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by Victorian miners. In this particular scene, we witness the immense scale of support required to reinforce the weak roof within the mine. Measuring approximately 30 feet wide, massive timbers made of pitchpine are prominently displayed. These impressive beams are an astonishing 18 inches square and stretch an incredible length of 34 feet. It is difficult to fathom the sheer strength and determination it took for these timber structures to uphold such precarious surroundings. Tragically, this photograph also serves as a somber reminder of the dangers involved in mining during that era. Seven lives were lost during this period, including that of the foreman timberman who perished while efforts were underway to strengthen these very stulls captured in this poignant image. Photographer John Charles Burrow skillfully captures both the grandeur and perilous nature of Victorian mining practices through his lens. This historical artifact now resides within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, offering us a window into our past and honoring those who risked their lives underground.
