Later part of Geevor. This mining area comprised 27 shafts spread across 20 different lodes, including notable ones like the Boxer, Bridgework, and Lawry lodes. Treweek’s shaft, which was sunk on Peath lode, saw a revival around 1965 as part of Geevor Mine’s ongoing operations, remaining operational until Geevor’s eventual closure. Today, remnants such as dumps can still be found in the area between the two roads branching off from the B3306 road.



1770s.. 1827-1840 1842-1875
