History of Cornish Mining - The Time Tunnel - Great Flat Lode
My Exploration of the Great Flat Lode 15th June 2014
In the 1860s a 2 mile long 'lode' of tin ore was discovered in this area, where copper had previously been worked. Lying at an angle of 30 degrees, rather than the more usual 70 degrees, it was flatter than most, giving it its name the 'Great Flat Lode'. Drilling holes in the hard Cornish rock was time consuming and hard work. Early miners drilled holes by hand and used black gunpowder to blast the rock apart. A steal drill rod, was used to create the hole using a hammer or two miners hammering for increased speed. The steal was turned after each hit of the hammer, this would chip out a piece of rock. This would eventually create a round hole. The drilled hole was called a 'shothole'. black gunpowder could be poured into the hole and ignited to blast the rock apart.
Drilling holes in the hard rock of Cornwall was laborious and time consuming. It could take many hours of strenuous effort to bore a 2ft hole, When I worked at Geevor Tin Mine I could drill 20 plus 6-8 holes in granite during a shift.
Filmed on GoPro 3 black edition, music mixes are my own creation. Time Tunnel intro from 1960s TV program. Trelawny sung outside a pub in Helston.
