HRH Prince Charles — Quarry Visit

A record of visits to De Lank Quarry by His Majesty King Charles III, made during his years as Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall. The relationship runs through the Duchy of Cornwall's long association with the quarry and its stone, including the supply of De Lank granite to Duchy projects such as Nansledan. These photographs document the King's interest in the working quarry, its craft and its people, and the place of Cornish granite in the building traditions he has long championed. They are part of the wider story of De Lank as a living part of the Cornish landscape and economy, not only a supplier of stone.
