EDITORS COMMENTS

Step into the depths of New Cooks Kitchen's subterranean world and witness a snapshot in time - three young miners hard at work on the 406 level. This photograph, captured by John Charles Burrow (1852-1914), offers a glimpse into the lives of Cornwall's mining community during the late 1800s. As we gaze upon this vintage print, we're transported to an era when coal and tin were extracted from beneath our feet. The miners' faces are set with determination as they tram along the railway carriage, their bodies straining against the weight of heavy chains and equipment. Every detail tells a story - the worn leather aprons, the sturdy pickaxes slung over shoulders, and the makeshift headgear protecting them from falling debris. This image is more than just a record of industrial activity; it's an intimate portrayal of men who toiled in darkness for our benefit. Their sweat-stained brows and weary eyes speak volumes about their daily struggles beneath Cornwall's rugged landscape. As we marvel at this photograph, let us honor the sacrifices made by these Cornish miners - unsung heroes whose labor helped shape our world. This remarkable print is part of an extensive collection held at the Royal Cornwall Museum, a treasure trove of stories waiting to be unearthed.
