About Wheal Busy
Wheal Busy, also known as Great Wheal Busy and originally Chacewater Mine, is a historic metalliferous mine located between Redruth and Truro in Cornwall's Gwennap mining area. In the 18th century, it was a significant producer of copper ore, contributing to its wealth, though profitability declined in the late 19th century. Today, the mine's remains are part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, making it a relevant location for planning applications related to heritage conservation and tourism development.
