Levels into hill going West. Small tin mine that began around 1790 when miners dug a shaft on the back of a lode atop Trendrine Hill. Initially productive at shallow depths, the ground instability prompted them to relocate to the eastern slope, where they drove a shallow level and sunk a new shaft. Additionally, they initiated a deep level 40 fathoms below the older workings.

In 1831, the mine was acquired by James Meacock, who focused on working the deep level, extending it by an additional 60 fathoms. However, financial constraints led to the abandonment of the mine in the same year while sinking another shaft.

Subsequent attempts to revive the mine occurred when it was sold in 1836, but it was abandoned again shortly after the new owner’s death. In 1844, shares in ‘The United Mines of Wheal Music and Wheal Sandwich, now known by the name of Trendrine Hill’ were offered for sale, although it remains unclear whether either of the two mines was subsequently reworked.
