EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the South Condurrow Mine in Camborne, Cornwall, during the summer of 1908. The image showcases a pivotal moment in the mining process at the mill located on the 130 level. A skilled miner can be seen guiding precious ore into a railed trolley from an elevated position above. Hanging from the side of the chute framework is a carpenter's saw, ready for use by diligent workers. The scene is further enriched by pieces of loose timber standing nearby, highlighting both the industrious nature and resourcefulness required in this demanding profession. It is worth noting that in 1897, part of this property was transferred to Camborne School of Mines as what would later become known as King Edward VII mine. While uncertainty surrounds who precisely captured this remarkable snapshot - possibly John Charles Burrow or Herbert Hughes - their talent for documenting Cornwall's rich mining heritage shines through. This photograph serves as a testament to their skillful eye and dedication to preserving history. Displayed proudly at Royal Cornwall Museum, this evocative print offers viewers a glimpse into an era defined by hard work, ingenuity, and perseverance within Cornish mines. Its significance lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its ability to transport us back to a time when these mines were vital contributors to local communities' livelihoods and identities.
