EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant moment in history - the 20th of February, 1923. The image showcases a group of hardworking miners, most likely at Giew Mine in St Ives Consols, Cornwall. It beautifully captures an intimate scene during their croust time, a traditional Cornish term for mealtime. In this snapshot frozen in time by photographer Arthur William Jordan, we witness the camaraderie and unity among these miners as they gather together for a well-deserved break. Each miner holds a mug tightly in hand while indulging in delicious Cornish pasties - an iconic local delicacy that has become synonymous with the region's mining heritage. The worn faces tell stories of laborious work underground, but it is evident that even amidst such challenging conditions, these individuals found solace and comfort within each other's company. Their shared laughter and relaxed postures speak volumes about their resilience and unwavering spirit. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Cornwall's rich mining industry and its profound impact on the lives of countless individuals who dedicated themselves to this arduous profession. It stands as a tribute to their strength and determination while offering us glimpses into moments often overlooked by history books. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured almost a century ago, we are transported back to an era where tea breaks were cherished moments filled with warmth, sustenance, and companionship - essential ingredients that fueled both body and soul within
