EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative black-and-white photograph, an apprentice woman is intently focused on her task at Delabole Quarry in North Cornwall, England. The year is 1985, and the rich history of slate mining in the area stretches back to the middle ages. With a determined expression on her face, she wields a hammer and chisel, carefully splitting a slate into two pieces. The quarry's rugged terrain and rough-hewn walls provide a stark backdrop to her labor, a testament to the challenging conditions faced by miners in the 1980s. Despite the hardships, the apprentice's hat adorned with a badge and her worn work clothes suggest a sense of pride and dedication to her craft. Her smile reveals a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment, as she contributes to the long and storied tradition of slate mining in Cornwall. The image captures a moment in time, a snapshot of an industry that has shaped the region's history and identity. The Delabole Quarry, with its towering cliffs and intricate network of tunnels, has been a source of slate for centuries. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human effort and skill required to extract this valuable resource from the earth. As the apprentice's chisel strikes the slate, the sound echoes through the quarry, a testament to the enduring legacy of this ancient industry. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the past, a glimpse into the lives of those who have worked the land and shaped the history of Cornwall.
