Copper Mine, Callington
Bremer Mine, Callington, looking west. Posing with the workers are the manager, Alfred Hallett, and mine captain, Thomas Prisk, who ran the mine for most of its working life. This information was provided by a researcher, quoting a 'historical marker', located at the ruins of the mine. Bremer Mine was worked from 1848 after copper traces were found by John Kierman when he was surveying Callington. There were 17 mines, including Wheal Fortune in the area before 1851. Miners left for the Victorian Gold Fields and the mine was left idle. Alfred Hallett was engaged to manage the mine and he installed a steam engine to de-water the mine which was worked by Cornish miners. After the mine was once again idle the Bremer Mining Company from England bought it. Just before this photograph was taken nearby Callington was connected by telegraph to Adelaide.
