Preserving the Industrial Legacy - Levant Mine, Cornwall
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the historic Levant Mine in Cornwall, a testament to Britain's rich industrial heritage. Operating from the late 18th century until its closure in 1930, this mine was renowned for extracting tin and copper from beneath the ocean floor. The imposing steam winding engine that powered these operations has been lovingly preserved by a group of dedicated enthusiasts even after the mine ceased production. Today, visitors can witness this remarkable piece of machinery in action at the site, which is owned and managed by the National Trust. Standing against a backdrop of rugged coastline and overlooking the vast Atlantic Ocean, Levant Mine offers an immersive experience into Cornwall's mining past. The photo captures not only the impressive beam engine but also other remnants of this once-thriving industry. The ruins of various buildings dotting the landscape serve as poignant reminders of Cornish miners' hard work during the nineteenth century industrial revolution. With its vibrant colors and striking composition captured by photographer Peter Thompson (PTM), this image transports viewers back in time to an era when mining played a vital role in shaping England's economy and identity. It serves as both a visual tribute to our ancestors' ingenuity and resilience while inviting us to explore our country's fascinating geographical features.
