Wheal Edward Mine lies on the cliff edge on the north coast of Cornwall, between the villages of Pendeen and St. Just. It worked copper and tin lodes from an incline shaft which extended out under the sea. The work was hard as the bedrock here is greenstone which is extremely hard. From 1821 to 1856 Wheal Edward sold 955 tons of copper ore for ã8858; subsequently, in 1859, sold 784 tons for ã2683, also several tons of black tin. In 1893 after the disaster at West Wheal Owles, Wheal Edward was closed. |
