EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back in time to the Dolcoath Mine in Camborne, Cornwall around 1900. The image captures a group of hardworking miners pushing a tram along the tramway at the impressive depth of 490 fathoms. With their determined expressions and strong physique, these men epitomize the resilience and dedication that characterized mining during this era. The Victorian influence is evident in their attire, as they don traditional felt hats that were commonly worn for protection underground. These hats not only shielded them from falling debris but also added an air of distinction to their rugged appearance. This photograph by John Charles Burrow offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by Cornish miners during one of Britain's most prosperous periods for mining. It serves as a powerful reminder of both the physical demands and risks associated with extracting valuable minerals from deep within the earth. While it is important to note that this image does not mention any specific company or commercial use, its historical significance cannot be understated. It provides us with insight into an industry that played a crucial role in shaping Cornwall's identity and economy. As we admire this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, let us pay tribute to those who labored tirelessly beneath our feet, leaving behind an indelible mark on our collective history.
