A relatively minor mine in economic terms, but with a long history, if intermittent, history.
The mine was working in the the 18th C, reference being made to a dispute with the nearby Wheal Ruby in 1758.
Worked in 1835 in conjunction with Wh Ruby by the Wedron Royal Mining Company, the mine was pumped out again in 1855.
In 1865, the group was known as Garlidna United, but working ceased, said due to the inability of the shareholders to pay their "calls".
Further work was done on a new lode at Garlidna in the years 1912-16, but with little success.
