EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for the last shift of miners at Geevor Tin Mine in Pendeen, Cornwall, as the mine prepared to close its doors in the late 1980s. The image presents a poignant snapshot of traditional Cornish industry coming to an end, as men dressed in their work gear, complete with helmets and heavy jackets, make their way out of the mine, leaving behind a legacy of metal and toil. The rugged terrain of the Cornish coastline serves as a fitting backdrop to this scene, which speaks to the resilience and determination of the local workforce. Peter Craze, the photographer, skillfully captures the mood of the moment, as the miners' faces betray a mix of exhaustion, pride, and uncertainty about the future. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of Cornwall's mining industry and the men who dedicated their lives to it.
