Sortridge Copper Mining Co re-opened the Sortridge Consols Mine about 1881.
The mine is situated about one a threequarters of a mile south-east of
Whitchurch in Devon. It was primarily a copper mine with records of
production from 1854 to 1871.. It was reopened for tin and apparently was
only worked above adit. Production was small and, with two subsequent
changes of ownership, it worked on and off until about 1902.
