This print takes us back to the early 1900s, capturing a group of miners deep within the depths of East Pool Mine in Illogan, Cornwall. The image showcases an intimate moment shared by these brave individuals who dedicated their lives to extracting precious minerals from the earth. In this particular frame, we see a diverse group of miners standing proudly on the 70 level. Among them is none other than John Charles Burrow himself, the talented photographer behind this remarkable snapshot. Standing beside him are his wife and son, both wearing sturdy work attire that blends seamlessly with their surroundings.
