Edward,
With regard to the weburbanist (whatever that purports to mean) website, I can truthfully say that I have never come across a more repetitively pretentious collection of cornish mining images in my entire life.
Further, I had to laugh at the reference to 'brawns-age'.
The added captions (in what I can only presume is intended to be English) were consistently annoying, with their Pseuds Corner references to 'Romanesque arches' and the 'hauntingly beautiful aura' produced by some contrived backlit, flashlit, super wide-angle, 'coverging verticals' images that had no connection whatever with their immediate environment. I was sickened, and hope never again to see this sort of thing on my monitor!
