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.
