Wheal Martyn Trust was established as a charity in 1975 by the producers of china clay in Cornwall to preserve and record the history of the west country china clay industry. The site is situated alongside the St. Austell river in a valley which contained several china clay works, including the Gomm Works and Wheal Martyn Works which today form the museum.
The Wheal Martyn museum site incorporates two former china clay works – the Gomm Works and Wheal Martyn Works. The Gomm Works were leased by the Martyn Brothers from the Mount Edgcumbe Estate in about 1878 and were worked until the 1920s. The Wheal Martyn china clay works began working much earlier, in the 1820s. They were started by Elias Martyn on the Carthew Estate, and bought by his father Richard in 1790. Elias became one of the major clay producers in Cornwall. In the 1840s he operated 5 pits and by 1869 was producing 2000 tons of clay a year at Wheal Martyn. After Elias’ death in 1872 the family kept the land at Carthew but his son Richard Uriah Martyn closed down or leased the works to other operators. In the 1880s John Lovering took on the lease at Wheal Martyn. Wheal Martyn pit worked until the effects of poor trade forced its closure in 1931. The Dry continued to operate until 1969, working lower grade clay from pits further up the valley. Wheal Martyn Pit reopened in 1971 and is today operated by Imerys Minerals Ltd.

Peerless and talented master ves-chan www.flickr.com/photos/26947305@N06/ did for my Ivo (Dollstown 18 boy) incredibly realistic military jacket, which I began to dream a year ago, for a long time looking for the masters in the network. To provide s020.radikal.ru/i719/1509/6f/da3fae6380ac.jpg, ves-chan made absolutely identical version of my amendments on drawings (hawk replaced by wolf ). Among other things, she embroiders patterns on a typewriter, so they are realistic and fit on the scale. This mega-cool!
Sutures, both external and internal, without a single blot, fabric quality is such as I wanted (in conjunction with a master for a long time picking), accessories and scale perfectly met for bjd, and looks extremely impressive. And also - to meet all deadlines to send a photo of intermediate processes, and communication was very friendly and prompt.
I am very happy (given my reverent attitude to detail) and heartfelt thanks for the wonderful wizard thing! Now I am happy, because Ivo finished.

Birkenhead Brewery signage on the former Pier Hotel in Birkenhead
The Pier Hotel was originally built by prominent local businessman, Hugh Williams, for his own use in c. 1860. It closed in 2006 and was still vacant in 2015. The brewery, according to The International Society of Label Collectors & British Brewery Research, was "Originally registered in 1865 as the Birkenhead Amalgamated Brewery Co. which merged Aspinall’s Anchor Brewery and Cook’s Argyle Brewery. The name Birkenhead Brewery Co was adopted in 1872. The Company continued to trade independently until 1962 when it was acquired by Threlfall Chesters. Final closure came in 1968."

Spotted at Goodwood Revival 2025. There were some hidden gems in the Classic Car Park!
My first visit to Goodwood Revival. My friend Mitka who accompanied me has produced this YouTube video.
But when the melancholy fit shall fall
Sudden from heaven like a weeping cloud,
That fosters the droop-headed flowers all,
And hides the green hill in an April shroud;
Then glut thy sorrow on a morning rose,
Or on the rainbow of the salt sand-wave,
Or on the wealth of globed peonies;
Or if thy mistress some rich anger shows,
Imprison her soft hand, and let her rave,
And feed deep, deep upon her peerless eyes.
Keats
Look at the impatient driver tailgating the engine.
Rare plumage for CP with this former North Louisiana & Gulf MP15. It was the only time I caught this engine working the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line. It's on its way to pick up an empty tank car from Peerless Confectionery using street trackage.
Peerless went out of business in May of 2007 which ended revenue freight service on the C&E Line north of Clybourn by which time Chicago Terminal (CTM) had taken over operations of the C&E and Goose Island trackage from CP. In 2015 Big Bay Lumber on Goose Island closed which was the last CTM customer. CTM later conveyed rights to its ROW to the City of Chicago and abandoned what was left of its Chicago property in 2018.
On a summer day in 1987 an ice cream vendor watches the action as a Soo Line crew swaps out two tank cars of corn syrup for an empty covered hopper of sugar from Peerless Confection. Peerless was located along the east side of Lakewood Avenue and south of Diversey Parkway.
By this date Peerless was the last customer left on the former Milwaukee Road Chicago & Evanston (C&E) Line north of Clybourn-a line that once went all the way to Wilmette at one time. The C&E under MILW, Soo/CP, and Chicago Terminal operation featured street running on Lakewood and Kingsbury.
This scan was made from a recently rediscovered Kodak 126 format negative that had deteriorated with age and cleaned up as much as possible with Adobe Photoshop. Note that the Peerless factory did not yet add the modern art to the side of the new extension.
