EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the depths of King Edward VII Mine in South Condurrow, Camborne, Cornwall around 1903. This photograph captures a glimpse of life at the mine's 90 level, where students are hard at work alongside experienced miners.
The image is courtesy of John Charles Burrow, whose lens has immortalized this moment in time for future generations to cherish. The Victorian-era atmosphere is palpable as we gaze upon these young men and women, their faces set with determination as they tackle the challenges of mining life.
As you take in the details - from the worn miners' caps to the sturdy pickaxes at hand - remember that King Edward VII Mine was once a thriving hub of industry in Cornwall. The region's rich mineral deposits had long been exploited by ancient civilizations, but it wasn't until this period that large-scale industrial mining began.
This photograph is not only a testament to the dedication and resilience of those who worked beneath the earth, but also serves as a poignant reminder of our shared heritage. It is an honor for us at the Royal Cornwall Museum to share this piece of history with you.
