The following index of mines and other locations referred
to in Volumes 1 to 6 of 'Mining In Cornwall,' include British National Grid
references defining a 1 km square. However, it should be noted that the history
of these mines and their associated mining companies is complex and often includes
amalgamations and changes of name. Many mines covered large areas and incorporated
numerous different shafts, as well as mills that could be some distance away.
In general the locations given are for the buildings or mine shafts shown in
the photographs. The sources used include the 6-inch Ordnance Survey Second
Edition 1907/8 map series and "The Metalliferous Mining Region of South-West
England" by H.G. Dines, HMSO, 1956.
