Trials for tin were made here in the 1850s.
Despite great claims being made - that the quantity of tin discovered required 30 head of stamps to be erected and a railway constructed from the shaft to the dressing floors, the reality is that only 10 hundredweight of tin ore was recorded sold.
Working ceased in 1859, by which time £8000 had been lost.
