EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum showcases Maen Quarry in Constantine, Cornwall during the years 1903-1904. The image captures a general view of the quarry, highlighting its impressive scale and the industrious activities taking place within. Dominating the scene is a sturdy crane, strategically positioned to facilitate the movement of granite blocks. A group of men can be seen diligently working at the foot of the quarry face, carefully handling cut blocks with chisels and hammers. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era when manual labor played a crucial role in mineral extraction and construction processes. These skilled craftsmen dedicated their efforts to extracting high-quality granite for building purposes, contributing to Cornwall's rich architectural heritage. The Freeman & Sons Penryn Collection proudly preserves this historical record of Mabe Quarries' operations. Although we do not know who specifically captured this moment through their lens, it serves as a testament to their talent behind the camera. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate both the physical strength required for such demanding work and these individuals' invaluable contributions to shaping our built environment. This photo invites us to reflect on how tools like ladders and chains were essential companions for these laborers as they dressed stones destined for construction projects across Cornwall and beyond.
