...........more equipment at the China Clay Open air Museum. There are many pumps and wheels as there was no actual water on site and it all had to be pumped from several miles away. They used high pressure hoses to blast the china clay from the rock face. The leats and streams carried it all down to the clay drys where it was spread across the floor of several long buildings with furnaces underneath. As it dried it could be broken into smaller and smaller particles for distribution and shipping. Thnk you for your kind comments and FAVs on yesterdays pic and for placing it on TP and PP.
