 There was a further open cut on the same lode known as Trevorgus Mine sited south west of St Merryn, and in 1834 these amalgamated as Trevorgus and Treveglos Mines.The combined mine was abandoned in 1839, but in 1838 it produced only 24 tons of Lead Ore.There are two old public houses in St Merryn, Farmers Arms Inn and Cornish Arms; the latter was taken over in 2009 by celebrity chef Rick Stein.
