West Wheal Frances Tin Mine (United Kingdom)

Situated to the west of Treskillard near Newton Moor and bounded on the west by the Red River, West Wheal Frances was a small sett surrounded by South Wheal Frances to the south, West Wheal Basset to the north, East Grenville and Condurrow Setts to the west. West Wheal Frances worked from 1848 to 1896, but although it raised over 9,000 tons of black tin during this period, it cannot be classed as a profitable mine. The return to its investors of just over £22,000 far outweighed by the invstment of just short of £100,000!
