Chagford: grid reference SX700910

Otherwise known as Bradmere Pool and Wheal St. Ann, this mine lies just to the southeast of Whiddon Down near Chagford on the northern fringes of Dartmoor.

Quite an ancient mine, it is thought to have been at work in the 16th century extracting alluvial tin via tin streaming activities and later copper. Tinners records report that the mine was paying its dues to the landowners in 1539. The mine was described in 1789 as 'a vast hollow excavated through a succession of ages by miners'.

In 1841 a licence to prospect a sett was granted at the northern end of the pool. The mine working tin and copper lodes from a couple of shafts. In 1846 the mine restarted as Wheal St. Ann, this venture was not successful however and the mine was abandoned and allowed to flood in 1849.
