Trerew Mine / Trerew Wheal Rose

Trerew Mine was a nineteenth-century lead working east of Cubert. It is also recorded as Trerew Wheal Rose, another example of a recurring Cornish mine name that needs a place attached before it becomes useful.

This is neither East Wheal Rose near St Newlyn East nor Chiverton Wheal Rose beside the Gannel. The separate map location is therefore an important part of the entry, rather than an optional decoration.

Trerew helps connect the inland Cubert landscape with the wider district’s mining history. The familiar holiday coast sits beside a much denser pattern of workings than the surviving engine houses alone suggest. Records of a mine establish industrial use; they do not automatically establish a surviving building, an accessible shaft or a particular shipment through the Gannel.
