Phoenix United Mine, Copper and tin mine in Cornwall, England.
The Phoenix United Mine extends across 29.8 hectares of land on the southeastern edge of Bodmin Moor, featuring a square stone chimney on the moors.
The mining operations began in 1836 under the name Cornwall Great United Mines, later changing ownership in 1842 when James Seccombe purchased and renamed it Phoenix Mine.
The site reflects Cornwall's industrial mining heritage, where hundreds of workers extracted copper and tin using traditional methods throughout the nineteenth century.
The mine grounds, situated on common land near the village of Minions, remain accessible to visitors interested in examining the remaining mining structures.
The location harbors the rare Cornish path moss, Ditrichum cornubicum, which grows exclusively at this site and one other location in the world.
