The Cornish Pyramids

Описание к видео The Cornish Pyramids

One of the features of interest is the “Sky Tip”, a pyramid-like, 50m-high artificial mountain of mining waste material north of St Austell
It is a prominent land and sea mark of the town, beloved of its people and all who know the town, as an enduring memorial to all the people and the industry which won the highest grade of China clay from this place for export all over the world; since Josiah Wedgwood and John Carthew formed a Cornish clay company in 1782, after the discovery of China clay, by William Cookworthy, in 1746, at Tregonning Hill.
