WALK ONE: NOISE AND SILENCE
AN EXPLORATION OF A QUIET VALLEY HAUNTED BY SIGNS OF INDUSTRIAL NOISE
The walk sets out from (and returns to) King Edward Mine, tracing a route from the source of the Red River via Vincent’s Well and Bolenowe (birthplace of the Cornish poet John Harris) and across the historic mining landscape.
For the event we were joined by two local experts: Karen Hudson-Edwards, Professor in Sustainable Mining at University of Exeter and Jem Southam, a renowned landscape photographer, who documented the Red River from 1982 to 1987. The walk was documented by Falmouth University photography student Jasper Fell-Clark.
