View over mine works from the Cheesewring, Minions, Cornwall

The Phoenix United mine complex is in the middle distance. It produced over 16,000 tons of tin and 83,000 tons of copper between 1842 and 1898, and was re-opened after the sinking of a new shaft in 1907. However, the expected tin resources were not in place and it was re-closed in 1914.
