This map shows the layout
of the lodes within the East Caradon sett. The sett boundary
is shown shaded in yellow and blue, and the blue line waving its way
across the bottom of the map marking the junction between the
granite
and killas. West Rosedown
Mine lies to the north, South
Caradon to the west and Glasgow Caradon to the east. The
lodes are shown as red
lines and all lie within the granite with a general east to west
trend and northerly dip. Mark's,
Seccombe's, Fawcett's and caunter lodes are named as well as Seccombe's,
Engine and William's shafts. In 1863 the mine had reached a depth of 90 fathoms
and the building to the west as of Mark's lode was in use as the count house, as
marked by the *. At the time of the maps
production the Kilmar Junction
railway had not been built and the
LCR railway terminates
within the East Caradon Mine.
It is the Caunter lode that would provide
most of the mineral wealth of the district and this can be traced on the map
running through South Caradon, East Caradon and Glasgow Caradon mines. |
