Great Wheal Busy mine worked from some time before 1720 until 1909. It first mined copper and later changed to tin. In 1900, a considerable quantity of arsenopyrite was recovered. Great Wheal Busy was the site where in the 1770s James Watt introduced some of his early improvements to the steam engine.
The year 1777 saw the first Watt engine in Cornwall at work; this was at Wheal Busy, otherwise known as Wheal Spirit, Chacewater. The engine for Tingtang mine, near Redruth, had been ordered first, but there was delay in getting the parts to Cornwall and it was not at work until the following year. So the first Watt engine actually erected in that county was the Wheal Busy engine, a 30-inch cylinder.
