Originally worked as under the name of Old Tye, the mine was reopened in 1844 together with Great Condurrow about 300m to the north. It was renamed South Condurrow Mine in 1850 and worked for many years before producing any profitable tin in 1864. South Condurrow experienced major problems with flooding, especially during 1872.
The discovery of the Great Flat Lode c1870 was a huge boost to the area's mines and lead to South Condurrow paying a dividend for the first time in 1875. The mine continued to pay annual dividends until 1893 and finally closed in 1896.
In 1897 the older sections of the mine were offered to the Camborne School of Mines as a training mine for its students. It was renamed King Edward Mine on the accession of King Edward VII in January 1901.
