EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the late 19th century with this print of Okel Tor Mine, Calstock, Cornwall. Taken around 1890, this surface view captures the essence of a bygone era in Cornish mining history. Part of the esteemed A. K. Hamilton Jenkin collection at the Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph offers a glimpse into the world of hardworking miners and their remarkable feats. From its vantage point to the west, we are transported to an industrial landscape where towering mine structures dominate the horizon. The photographer's identity may remain unknown, but their skill is evident as they expertly frame Okel Tor Mine against a backdrop of rugged cliffs and lush greenery. This image serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and nature's enduring beauty. It invites us to contemplate the immense challenges faced by these courageous miners who tirelessly extracted precious minerals from deep within the earth. As we admire this historical gem from Cornwall's rich mining heritage, it is important to note that it should not be used for commercial purposes. Instead, let us appreciate it as an invaluable piece of our collective memory – one that sheds light on an industry that shaped countless lives and communities throughout generations.
