I would guess these two are placenames (for farms or villages) incorporating
a tree element that have been used for a mine, rather than the mine being
named from an existing tree.

Dear Alisdair,
And also the well know Appletreewick mine in Yorks. - have a share cert. in
same - and also Thornthwaite Mine in Cumberland. When one really thinks on
this matter there are indeed many. I do wonder how much superstition v.
fact is
involved in all this.
Regards, Bernard
