EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1893 takes us back in time to the East Pool Mine in Illogan, Cornwall. The image captures a pivotal moment as miners diligently clear out ore from the landing brace at the surface. With their weathered faces and determined expressions, these hardworking individuals epitomize the resilience and strength of those who toiled underground. Photographer John Charles Burrow skillfully captures the essence of this mining operation, showcasing both the physical challenges and ingenuity required for such demanding work. The composition draws our attention to a miner on a ladder, ascending towards the landing brace with shovel in hand. His silhouette against the backdrop of towering structures conveys an overwhelming sense of scale and industry. The East Pool Mine was undoubtedly a bustling hub during this era, serving as a vital source of employment and economic prosperity for Camborne and its surrounding areas. This photograph serves as an important historical document that sheds light on Cornwall's rich mining heritage. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this print allows us to reflect upon an era long gone but not forgotten.
