> H G (Geoffrey) Ordish was born in 1901 and made his first visit to Cornwall
> as early as 1915. He later visited Cornwall regularly, visiting mine sites,
> often with his friend the mining historian, A K Hamilton Jenkin. The 200
> plus photographs in this collection, H G Ordish: The Early Mining
> Photographs, were all taken between 1920 and 1933. Most have never been
> published before – indeed there has not been a book devoted to Geoffrey
> Ordish’s mining photographs since two rather unsatisfactory paperbacks
> appeared in the 1960s. Despite this his pictures have always been held in
> high regard by those with a serious interest in Cornish mining.
>
> The photographs in this book were all taken on a small Kodak ‘Vest Pocket’
> camera and cover mine sites across the whole of Cornwall. Some give new
> insights into well-known mines – there is for example a splendid sequence
> from Levant – while others are now the sole record of small, forgotten
> workings. Cornish mining was at a low ebb during this period and so
> photographs are much less common than those from the years of prosperity.
> Tony Clarke, who has prepared the photos for publication, has contributed a
> Preface with his memories of Geoffrey Ordish and notes on his camera and
> techniques.
>
> H G Ordish: The Early Mining Photographs is available as a 248 page large
> format paperback . There will be a limited hardback edition of 100 copies at
> £25.00
