Carn Brea, St Just → Chapel Carn Brea – The correct name for this hill is Chapel Carn Brea. This article was redirected on 4 September 2013 by User:Bermicourt from Chapel Carn Brea to → Carn Brea, St Just, possibly because the Ordnance Survey refer to it as Carn Brea. It is not unusual for the Ordnance Survey to get Cornish place names wrong, usually by mis-spelling or anglicizing. I've always known the place as Chapel Carn Brea.
