Nice Stonechat Trevor. The GN Divers are generally seen in Newlyn Harbour this time of year, four in there today. They usually shelter in there during a storm and they also feed in there. Sam
I was duly impressed with your Diver shots Sam..I know you have the same slow lens as I do ..the 80-400mm which would not have yielded results as good as the 300mm. I am not too impressed with the 80-400 but the Nikon D300 is superb.
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.
