EVM046_02 Cornelly Mine, Foxdale, Isle of Man

Cornelly Mine was developed by the Isle of Man Mining Company from 1837 when it was known as ‘Jones’s Mine’. It closed in 1849.

It reopened in 1878 under the name ‘Townshend’s Mine’ The sinking of the first shaft (Mountain) commenced in 1837 but soon encountered problems with water at a depth seven fathoms. A small pump was installed in 1840 but a year later it was decided to install a larger engine for pumping which was purchased from Cornwall.

A new Engine shaft was sunk in 1843 and was 60 fathoms deep by 1846 with levels driven at 10, 20, 40 and 50 fathoms.
The mine was abandoned in 1849 having reached a depth of 95 fathoms but re-opened twenty seven years later in 1878.

The surface workings were extensively modified with the installation of new machinery and the mine was deepened to 140 fathoms but some of the new lower levels were not so productive. The mine was finally abandoned in 1886.

The remains have been consolidated by the Isle of Man Government.
