Originally known as Pool Old Bal, the mine was worked for copper from the early 18th century until 1784. In 1834, it was restarted under the name East Pool Mine and changed to tin, also producing some arsenic and tungsten. In 1897, it was amalgamated with Wheal Agar under the name East Pool and Agar Mine.
