Combe

Situated on the north bank of the Mardle at Coombe Bridge, saw the development of several tin lodes. Initially, the mine was worked as an opencast operation, measuring 100x50 yards and reaching a depth of 50 feet. Subsequently, the lodes were mined from at least two shafts.

In 1848, the mine was reportedly producing more ore than the existing 14 head of stamps could process. As a result, 12 more stamps were added the following year, along with the construction of an engine house. However, the engine proved to be unsatisfactory and was later replaced by a waterwheel.

Operations were suspended in 1853 when attempts were made to re-float the company with increased capital. A chimney, depicted on old maps, was felled in 1915. Interestingly, it fell nearly intact and could be observed in the garden of a nearby cottage in 1981.

In describing the mine, Hamilton Jenkin noted that a specimen of the ore in his possession exhibited excellent quality tin, notable for its fine crystals.
