Largest among the ‘Lovell mines’, had a relatively brief yet prosperous existence in the latter half of the 19th century. It comprised two distinct groups of workings known as Tregonebris and Fatworks. Tregonebris had historical activity dating back to the 18th century, with operations resuming in the 1850s. After reaching a depth of 47 fathoms, Tregonebris became unprofitable, prompting the relocation of the engine to nearby Fatworks, which operated until around 1875. Subsequently, the engine was returned to Tregonebris, where it was used to deepen the mine to about 100 fathoms. Despite efforts until 1881, Tregonebris yielded little success. Further attempts were made until the early 20th century. The success of East Wheal Lovell led to the establishment of several similarly named mines by the 1880s, including North Lovell, South Lovell, Lovell Consols, Old Wheal Lovell, The Lovell, New Wheal Lovell, Great East Lovell, East New Wheal Lovell, Great Wheal Lovell, and Lovell United.
