The image showcases Goolds Shaft at Wheal Grenville Mine, standing tall and proud against the rugged Cornish landscape. In the background, we catch a glimpse of the Old Stamps house, an iconic structure that served as a constant reminder of the area's rich mining heritage. The photographer behind this remarkable shot is none other than John Charles Burrow, who skillfully captured every intricate detail with his lens. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported to an era where surface operations were bustling with activity. Miners can be seen going about their daily tasks while wearing their traditional Cornish attire and donning headgear for protection. A tramway stretches across the frame, serving as a lifeline for transporting precious minerals extracted from deep within Goolds Shaft. Adjacent to it stands an impressive engine house that powered these operations tirelessly day and night.
