Part of St. Day United. This mine, also known as Wheal Maiden, is situated in the Camborne-Redruth-St Day mining area within Gwennap parish. Its boundaries are defined by Great Consolidated Mines to the south and Poldice sett to the north. The mine contains five lodes: Tremaynes, Martyns, North, South, and an unnamed lode. In the early 1980s, an exploration project called the ‘Wheal Maid Decline’ took place within Great Consolidated Mines’ area and did not connect with any workings of Wheal Maid.
