Phoenix United Mine is a disused 19th century copper and tin mine in Cornwall England UK. Heavy metals left over in the soil from the mining operations have allowed mosses and lichens to flourish and today the site is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) noted for its biological characteristics.
