how neat a shot! and i love the comment above because i think it true! living so close to the coast here brings our gull friends too - one of my favorite things to do is sit and feed them at different places - aside from them now recognizing me and my car, there are one or two that i KNOW are posing for me - if i'm still in the car, one in particular will come sit right at the windshield wipers and peer inside - he sees me pulling my camera out and setting it up on the dash but seagull doesn't back up - comes closer, peering all the while! such fun - and my little namesake granddaughter squeals and squeals when they get so close! wonderful time!

St Austell

St Austell is the largest town in Cornwall.

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.
