This use to have a water wheel and grind the clay stone. How industry has changed

China clay-works site, near Shaugh Moor.

I don't think you are really supposed to go there, but it's such an interesting place to explore......and I wanted to try out my new camera ☺

I was under the impression that this clay pit had been abandoned but if you look carefully, you can see one very small red digger In action. To my surprise, it is very much a working quarry.

this kind of plastilin is the best

Excerpt from evergreen.ca:

 

Legacy (the mud beneath our feet)

 

Artist: David Hind

Media:Reclaimed steel, aluminum, reclaimed wood

Location: Clayworks

 

A tribute to A.P. Coleman, who found evidence of ancient periods of climate change in the layers of deposits on the North Slope of the quarry. This sculpture, which depicts a pair of Coleman’s boots, speaks to the relationship between the natural world and industry by recalling the products and remnants of their interactions.

AI Overview

Empiricism is a philosophical theory stating that knowledge primarily originates from sensory experience. It emphasizes the role of observation, experimentation, and the collection of empirical evidence in forming beliefs and understanding the world. In contrast to rationalism, which emphasizes innate ideas and deductive reasoning, empiricism posits that our minds are essentially blank slates at birth, and knowledge is built up through interactions with the external world.

Exploring the china clay works at Shaugh Moor on a cold winter's day. I probably should not have been in there, but as far as I know this area is no longer mined.

A fascinating sight - perhaps not beautiful compared to the moorland beyond, but it has a certain attraction which is difficult to explain.

 

This image was in EXPLORE for one day, then dropped. I was surprised that it was in at all, but I know it's all down to the way the algorithm works. Still nice to get in Explore though :-)

Remains of the Standardized China Clay Company at Belowda Beacon near Roche, Cornwall.

 

What was once a large 'L'-shaped room, built pre-WWI in 1908 or 1912 - some uncertainty of the date, but of more modern styling than contemporaneous architecture.

 

Contained within were oil-engines driving d.c. generators to power the skips, pumps, processing and haulage equipment. A gas-plant was behind, in the lower part of the building.

 

An experimental plant, evidently, with not much china clay produced, it having a high mica content.

One of the 'roads' inside the Imerys China Clay Works next to Shaugh Moor, Dartmoor. On the skyline, left of the photo, can just be seen the transmission mast on North Hessary Tor, and the tops of several tors.

 

I believe the site ceased operations in 2008, but leaves an interesting place to explore.....though I don't think it's really allowed!

Does it look real ? That's the effect of soft clay, it makes the fake flowers look so real.
