EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1895 transports us back to the bustling mining era in Cornwall, specifically to the Wheal Friendly Mine located in Trevaunance Cove, St Agnes. The image captures a unique perspective as it is taken from below, allowing us to marvel at the grandeur of the building and its smoking stack that have witnessed various industrial activities throughout history. Once serving as a foundry, tin stream works, and factory over time, this structure stands as a testament to Cornwall's rich mining heritage. On the skyline towards the right of center proudly stands the impressive 70-inch engine house of Wheal Prudence in Perranzabuloe. Its towering presence symbolizes both progress and determination within an industry that shaped countless lives. The skilled photographer behind this remarkable snapshot is none other than Herbert Hughes who skillfully captured not only architectural details but also conveyed a sense of awe for these monumental structures against Cornwall's picturesque backdrop. As we gaze upon this historic scene today, let us reflect on the resilience and ingenuity of those who worked tirelessly within these mines. Their labor laid foundations for communities while leaving an indelible mark on Cornish culture. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our shared past and invites us to appreciate how far we have come since those days when mining dominated these landscapes.
