Bedford Consols
Gulworthy, West Devon, Devon, England, UK
Former tin, copper and arsenic mine on the east side of the Tamar.
Showing the single result
I found the name of this one a little complex, as within a small distance are the Bedford Consols, Bedford United Mine, and Devon Great Consols.
As far as I can make out, Bedford Consols is a combination of two smaller mines – Wheal Tool and Wheal Gawton / Gawton Beam.
There is likely more information in the book ‘Mines of Dartmoor & the Tamar Valley’, but I haven’t bought a copy yet.
One of the more interesting minerals from the site in my opinion is the fine anatase crystals that can be found here.
