About Fencing in St Austell
St Austell in Cornwall became the centre of the world's largest china clay deposits, discovered nearby by William Cookworthy in the 1740s, who patented a method of making porcelain from the material in 1768. By the mid nineteenth century some 65,000 tonnes of china clay were being mined around the town each year by seven thousand workers, and the industry's legacy continues today at the Eden Project, built in a former clay pit on the edge of the town.
