More about this scene
The china clay industry dominates the landscape around St Austell. This is the Lower Ninestones china clay pit, with waste being hauled up inclines to older flat-topped tips on the left and newer 'sky tips' on the right. The tall engine house with a square stack contained a beam engine for pumping clay from the pit to the thickening pools on the right.
