Running
Wheal Uny can be seen for miles around up on the hill next to Redruth and close to Carn Brea. In use for much of the 19th century for copper ore and black tin it reportedly had a huge fortune within it but the mine was closed in 1893 when the price of tin dropped and it was not economical to keep the pumping houses running.
