    Situated just beside the North Road at the Pendeen end, Wheal Hearle comprises two engine houses which were home to a ten inch winding engine and a thirty inch pumping engine. It was in production from about 1855 and, at its peak, employed just over one hundred men , women and boys. The mine appears to have been short lived with little reported after 1865.

  • History of Pendeen
    Geevor Tin Mine Museum 2009 Pendeen – Ten Thousand Years of History On first sight, the village of Pendeen seems to be a product of 19 th century mining, it has in fact a long and complex history rich in archaeological and other evidence. The first settlers arrived in the local area in the Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age [8000 – 4000 BCE]. They were nomadic, probably visiting the area in summer to hunt and fish. Evidence exists of such a settlement on the Geevor mine site. By the Neolithic or New Stone Age, there were settled communities on the coastal strip of land around Pendeen. The coast provided a rich food source and also flint beach pebbles: these were carried from other parts of the country by wave action, there being no local native sources of flint. The settlement name ‘Flintshire’ between Geevor and Levant is said to come from the abundance of worked flint debris which was once to be found there. The settlers also exploited the ‘greenstone’ at Kendijack – to make axe heads, which were traded with other areas. They built some of the imposing monuments that still remain, such as Chun Quoit and later barrows like the one to be seen at Bollowal. The Bronze Age [4000 – 2500 BCE] saw agriculture develop. Small fields were cleared and used for crops, and stock was grazed on the uplands. Some of the field patterns from this era and from the Iron Age still survive and can be seen on the land just above the cliffs: the field boundaries at Bosigran are examples.
