The only written reference to it that i can find is in BGS, H Dines, p136 -137.

There's an awful lot about the early 20thC working in the letter books of William Thomas at CRO, & re earlier workings in the Mining Journal. Cyril Noall's books on the St Ives Mining District give some information. Let me know if you want further details, won't be able to dig them out for a week or so as I am away from Plymouth till then.

Is Wheal Merth the one that was used by the home guard?

There's some marvellously smooth red clay in Cligga
