EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the early 1900s with this print of Roseworthy Hammer Mills, nestled in the picturesque village of Gwinear, Cornwall. The image captures a serene view of the hammer mills and a meandering river, while several men stroll along the footpath. Established in 1808, Roseworthy Hammer Mills played a vital role in Cornwall's industrial history. Renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, the mill manufactured an array of essential items such as castings, iron chimneys for mines, boilers, chains, and box irons. However, it was their superior Cornish shovels that truly set them apart. The Cornwall Shovel Company Limited operated alongside these historic hammer mills until their closure in 1941 due to wartime circumstances. Despite its eventual demise, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the once-thriving industry that shaped Cornwall's landscape. Captured by esteemed photographers John Charles Burrow and Herbert Hughes and marked with JCB on the plate itself; this remarkable print offers us a glimpse into our rich heritage. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time at Royal Cornwall Museum today let us reflect upon the ingenuity and hard work that went into shaping our past.
