hello again - i just found a comment you'd left at one of my places a few days ago where you mention a lady floating in a pond - and i left a response for you over there begging for this intriguing story to be told me in its entirety!!! so please take pity soon - and tell me about this mysterious lady in the lake!
I cannot do justice to what Laurie Lee wrote in his excellent book Cider With Rosie. It is well worth aquiring a copy of this small book about life in a Cotswold Village prior to the motor car.
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.

ReplyDeleteI saw some of these the other day whilst wandering a nature reserve. They really are stunning, and you've captured their beauty really well.
