Poldice mine Poldice mine is a former metalliferous mine located in southwest Cornwall. It is situated near the hamlet of Todpool, between the villages of Twelveheads and St Day, three miles east of Redruth.
Wheal Gorland Wheal Gorland was one of the most important Cornish mines of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. It is the type locality for the minerals chenevixite, clinoclase, cornwallite, kernowite and liroconite.
Wheal Jane Wheal Jane is a disused tin mine near Baldhu and Chacewater in West Cornwall. The area itself consisted of a large number of mines.
Wheal Peevor Wheal Peevor was a metalliferous mine located on North Downs about 1.5 miles north-east of Redruth, Cornwall. The first mining sett was granted here in around 1701 on land owned by the St Aubyn family. The mine covered only 12 acres (4.8 ha) but had rich tin lodes.
Consolidated Mines Consolidated Mines, also known as Great Consolidated mine, was a metalliferous mine. Mainly active during the first half of the 19th century, its mining sett was about 600 yards north–south; and 2,700 yards east–west, to the east of Carharrack.
Wheal Maid Wheal Maid (also Wheal Maiden) is a former mine in the Camborne-Redruth-St Day Mining District, 1.5km east of St Day. Between 1800 and 1840, profits are said to have been up to £200,000. In 1852, the mine was almalgamated with Poldice Mine and Carharrack Mine and worked as St Day United. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s the mine site was turned into large lagoons and used as a tip for two other nearby mines: Mount Wellington and Wheal Jane.
Mount Wellington Tin Mine Mount Wellington Tin mine opened in 1976 and was the first new mine in the region in many years. With the fall of tin prices and the withdrawal of pumping subsidies, the mine finally closed in 1991. An attempt to revive the mine occurred when an individual tried to transform it into a visitor attraction, but his endeavour failed.
