I’m Dr Polka. In 1976 I started work at Wheal
Roots which became ‘Poldark Mine’. As a
16 year old miner I literally entered a new world. Blasting our way through
granite, we hooked up with old workings and though I didn’t know it at the
time, we bored our way into a skoven, a tin-ground, with a history that goes
back to prehistoric times. This experience forms the basis for my fiction story,
The Janetta Stone, which is in my ebook, The Horned Whale. Some day I’ll write the real story of those
mining days. The tunnels we ‘mucked out’ by wheel-barrow
during the days of Britain’s Punk explosion - for £16 a week - were later used
for the mining scenes representing ‘Wheal Grace’ and ‘Wheal Fortune’ in the
BBC’s Poldark drama series. Somebody
certainly made a fortune but it wasn’t
the miners. Repetitious history. Down Poldark Mine these days they have
mannequins of eighteenth-century boy miners – they don’t actually look a whole
lot younger than me and my fellow-‘tinners’ from the seventies.
Oh Beejayzus! The things a fella’s gotta do t’ earn a crusta
bread in these crazy days – hmmmm,
let’s see now – where was I? pppffffssssssshhhhhhhhooooooouuuuuuggghhhh! Hey, I thought you could just dig money up! Like in the olden days – but then I
always was a bit of an impressionist, like, from back in the Golden Days. So anyway, there I was, diggin’ and a-delvin’ like a Devla down ol’ Wheal Roots of
a Wendron afternoon, tryin t’ make a kroust, when all over a sudden like I gets
the idea t’ try me luck in the litricher trade, just for the halibut like. So I’m here t’ tell youse about me new book – it’s a
noctambulatory masterpiece like, well,
it’s a piece anyway – a piece of something……
