Author(s): Bernard Mills
From Lostwithiel to the China Clay Rails takes the reader on a train journey from the estuary of the River Fowey to the port of Par, thence on a circular tour across the spine of Cornwall to the Atlantic Coast at Newquay and back, travelling through the heart of china clay country.
Over a period of fifty years from the 1960s, author Bernard Mills visits many of the china clay lines now long gone with many jaw-dropping images taken then and now, showing the great changes both on and off the rails. A host of memories are recalled and updated in this treasure chest of extremely rare colour material, mostly previously unpublished, and almost all taken by the author.
