EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, taken in 1893 by the skilled Victorian photographer John Charles Burrow, captures the essence of East Pool Mine in Illogan, Cornwall, during its productive heyday. The image, now held at the Royal Cornwall Museum, offers a rare glimpse into the inner workings of a Cornish tin mine at the turn of the century. At the heart of the photograph lies the 70 level, where miners labored to extract valuable minerals from the earth. The absence of timber supports in this area speaks volumes about the mine's geological stability and the strength of its roof. The rock here is evidently firm, a testament to the mine's structural integrity. The scene is bathed in soft, natural light that filters in from the entrance, casting long, dramatic shadows across the rough-hewn walls. The mine's ancient machinery, including the wooden drills and winches, stand silent and still, a poignant reminder of the human effort required to extract the precious metals that once thrived beneath the earth. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the lives of the miners who worked in such conditions. Their hard hats and lanterns, scattered haphazardly around the level, suggest the haste and urgency with which they went about their daily tasks. The mine's narrow passages and low ceilings would have made for cramped and arduous working conditions, yet the determination and resilience of the miners shines through in this powerful image. East Pool Mine, with its rich history and enduring legacy, continues to captivate visitors and historians alike, offering a window into Cornwall's rich industrial past.
