EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of King Edward Mine, Williams Lode, South Condurrow in Camborne, Cornwall. The image showcases a pivotal moment in mining history as students take charge underground at the 340 level. In 1897, part of this very property was transferred to Camborne School of Mines and later became known as the prestigious King Edward VII mine. Renowned photographer John Charles Burrow skillfully captures the essence of hard work and determination etched on these young miners' faces. With their tools in hand - hammers ready for action - they navigate through dimly lit tunnels using ladders as their lifelines into the depths below. This photograph serves as a powerful testament to Cornwall's rich mining heritage and its significant role in shaping both local communities and global industry. It transports us to an era where grit and resilience were essential qualities for those who ventured beneath the surface seeking precious minerals. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece from Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, allow yourself to be transported back in time; imagine the echoes of pickaxes hitting rock walls reverberating through narrow passageways. Feel a sense of awe for these brave individuals who dedicated their lives to extracting treasures from deep within Mother Earth's embrace.
