East Pool Mine, Illogan, Cornwall. 1893
Boring an upper. Before the introduction of compressed air drills, all drilling had to be done by hand. Holes were needed in all directions and boring an upper, as seen in this image, was the hardest. Young miners often boasted of their prowess (St Just miners in particular who would bore single-handed). Photographer: John Charles Burrow
