Whiteworks history
Tin working at Whiteworks mine site dates back to 1180, when it was associated with mediaeval field systems on the eastern edge of Fox Tor. More active mining began around 1790, when the Industrial Revolution began to fuel demand for tin. During part of this time the mine was one of the largest on Dartmoor, along with Eylesbarrow and Gobbet.
Whiteworks geography / climate
Whiteworks is situated in an area of open moorland about 3 kilometres (2 mi) south-east of Princetown. The granite at Whiteworks has been subject to a process of kaolinisation: the feldspar minerals have decomposed to form a white clay known as kaolin. When the tin ore cassiterite was mined there, it was white in colour, giving the name ‘White Works’
