From the Publisher

Cornwall's China Clay Country seeks to inspire readers
to explore the St Austell china clay area and
to help visitors to interpret what they see, and locals
to remember how things were.Through a series of
walks and drives around the district the authors
invite their readers to explore the history of the
area following the routes of ClayTrails that have
been established for walkers and cyclists. Period
photographs illustrate bygone methods of winning
the clay, the buildings that were once so typical of
the industry and the people that did the work, while
superb colour photographs reinforce impressions
of a modern landscape that is quite unique to this
part of Cornwall.
