Step into the depths of New Cooks Kitchen in Illogan, Cornwall during the late 1800s with this photograph by John Charles Burrow. This rare glimpse into life underground captures miners hard at work on a hanging wall at an impressive 394 fathom level. The scene is one of industry and toil as men labor amidst the darkness, their faces illuminated only by the faint glow of lanterns or candles. The air would have been thick with dust and the smell of coal, but Burrow's lens captures every detail with remarkable clarity. In this moment, we see a snapshot in time - literally - as these miners toil away on one of Cornwall's many underground tunnels. Note the makeshift props holding up the tunnel roof, testament to the ingenuity required to navigate such treacherous terrain. The tramway and railway tracks snake their way through the mine, while equipment lies scattered about like a puzzle waiting to be solved. The shaft above would have been lit by electric lamps or candles, casting an eerie glow over it all. This photograph is not only a testament to Burrow's skill as a photographer but also serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich mining heritage - and the men who worked tirelessly beneath our feet.
