Scissor-braced roof in 6 bays. First referred to in 1836 as Wheal Martha, the
Luckett or New Consols Mine underwent several changes of name and periods of
inoperation until 1867 when it became known as New Great consols. It then continued
in use until 1879 and was concerned with the extraction of copper, silver, tin and a
small amount of gold. The mine was re-opened on a smaller scale in 1946 and
continued in operation until 1952 (A. K. Hamilton 3enkin, Mines and Miners of
