EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of the disused Levant Mine and Beam Engine in Trewellard, Pendeen, near St Just, Cornwall. Dating back to the early 19th century, this historic site was once a hub of tin and copper mining activity in Cornwall, a region renowned for its rich mineral deposits. The mine operated between 1820 and 1930, leaving behind a testament to the industrial past of this coastal community. The image showcases the striking contrast between the rugged, natural beauty of the cliffs, sea, and waves, and the man-made structures of the mine. The blue sky overhead adds a sense of tranquility to the scene, while the disused engine house and chimneys stand as enduring symbols of the area's mining heritage. The grassy path leading to the top of the cliffs invites exploration, offering visitors a chance to connect with the history and culture of this unique place. The National Trust now cares for this important piece of Cornish history, ensuring that future generations can learn about the region's industrial past and appreciate the natural beauty of the coastline. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the area's rich history and the enduring impact of the mining industry on the landscape and community of Pendeen.
