Caradon United Mines were formed around 1846 and included Penhale Mine and Wheal Torr. The latter is now totally obscured, but appears to have worked in the eastern part of the sett, because the western part was worked by Penhale Mine. The same sett was reworked in 1860 under the name Penhale and Trecarne United Mine.
