One of several mines including Ludcott, Wrey, and North Trelawney, operated two north-south lodes spaced roughly 120 yards apart. They amalgamated around 1863 as Wrey and Ludcott United but ceased operations in 1866. Wheal Wrey, established in 1846 by Capt. Peter Clymo, initially yielded substantial returns. By 1855, it utilized a small 22-inch beam engine for drainage, later upgraded to a 60-inch cylinder. Despite its early success, declining ore values at a depth of 108 fathoms led to the decision to close the mine. This closure posed a significant issue for Wheal Ludcott’s owners due to interconnected levels between the two mines. Following negotiations, Wheal Wrey was purchased for £3438 in 1862.
