your wonderful images remind me of my time living on the beach with hundred of acres of marshlands out my bedroom window and the ocean just feet away from my front door - thanks for taking me back!
A Market Town since 1189 and has now undergone a major regeneration program .
The new shopping and leisure centre (White River Place) opened October 2009 and employs 500 - 700 people.
Imery's modernized China Clay industry employs 2000 which is a huge drop from the early 20th Century when tin, copper and china clay found in the hills made St Austell a major Cornish industrial centre.
Another industry still alive and kicking is the St Austell Brewery which celebrated 150 years of trading in 2001.

ReplyDeleteHello Keith.
ReplyDeleteI love trying to sneak up on them for a close shot...most times they are off a long time before I get close.
