A small lead mine, working a NE-trending lode on the north shore of the Gannel. The lode was accessed from an adit at beach level. This area is now completely built over. Not to be confused with Rose and Chiverton Mine, which was a name given to a late working of East Wheal Rose.
Dines:
On the north bank of the Gannel, half a mile S.W. of Newquay (6-in. Corn. 39 N.E.), this mine has an adit commencing on the shore, 120 yds. S.E. of Trethellan, driven as a crosscut 40 fms. N.W. to a lode coursing E. 28° N. A record under the name Rose and Chiverton gives 40 tons of 75 per cent lead ore and 30 oz. of silver in 1870.
