Lucky for me I put my wellies on and managed to wade within five or six yards of them. The dog walkers were far away on terra firma but not unfortunately the dogs who chasing a well aimed ball sling into the midst of the flocks ..scatter everything in sight.
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.
