Carn Brea and Tincroft United Mine, Illogan, Camborne - Redruth - St Day District, Cornwall, England, UK

This group of mines was formed in 1896 by amalgamation of Tincroft Mine and Carn Brea Mine.

In 1917, the name Tincroft Mine was adopted for the whole group. Later, the mines were included in the East Pool and Agar Mine sett.
