EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the awe-inspiring sight of a China Clay Quarry near St. Austell, Cornwall in all its historical glory. The quarries depicted are not just your average pits - they are a staggering 300 feet deep and stretch for a mile around the top. This image gives us a glimpse into the fascinating process of extracting china clay from the earth, where it is washed out and separated from the white sand that accompanies it.
The sheer scale of these quarries is truly impressive, showcasing the immense effort and industry that went into mining this valuable resource in the 1950s. The ravine-like appearance of the quarry walls adds to its dramatic allure, making it clear why these sites have become iconic landmarks in Cornwall's industrial history.
As we gaze upon this photograph by Mary Evans Picture Library, we can't help but marvel at the ingenuity and perseverance of those who worked in these quarries. Their legacy lives on through images like this one, which serve as a reminder of Cornwall's rich heritage and its vital role in shaping industries around the world.
