Phoenix United Mine

United Kingdom · built 1836

Phoenix United Mine is a disused 19th century copper and tin mine in Cornwall, England, UK. Heavy metals left over in the soil from the mining operations have allowed mosses and lichens to flourish, and today the site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), noted for its biological characteristics. All of the land designated as Phoenix United Mine SSSI is owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.
