Later Bell and Lannarth. A small mine situated at the northwestern edge of the Tresavean sett. It operated by extracting ore from a northeast-trending lode called Bell Vean Lode, utilizing two shafts positioned approximately 100 yards apart, just south of Lanner Christ Church. The mine’s workings included a deep adit level at 45 fathoms depth, following the lode across the sett. Towards its northeastern terminus, this adit level connected with the Wheal Comford workings on Comford Lode via a crosscut. Bell Vean Mine yielded 14 tons of black tin between 1874 and 1880. In 1881, it became part of the newly formed Tresavean Mines Ltd.
