Blue Hills Mine, St Agnes, Cornwall. 1893
Stopes above the 66 fathom level. A pare of miners is shown putting in a new prop. 1893. A pare is derived from the Cornish for company and relates to any number of miners working together. The openings made in the process of extracting ore are called stopes or rooms. Here the lode was about four or five feet wide with an unusually shallow dip, nearer horizontal than vertical. Ladders were not generally required and the miners could easily walk on the foot-wall of the lode. The roof was quite firm so that only a few timber supports were needed. Photographer: John Charles Burrow. Royal Cornwall Museum is the UK's Greatest Museum For Cornish Life & Culture. © From the collection of the RIC
