In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Gunnislake like this:
GUNNISLAKE, a village on the W border of Devon; 4 miles S of Tavistock. It has a post office under Tavistock; and is chiefly inhabited by miners. The tin mine of Drakewalls, where wolfram is separated from tin ore, and where a lode lies open to the day, is above the village.
