Description
Ruins of the China clay driers known as Trevanny Dry or Central Cornwall Dry built in 1920s and which ran until the 1960s. Apparently clay slurry was pumped down a pipeline from Starrick Moor near Trethurgy. This was left to settle in tanks before being spread out on coal-fired drying floor. A branch line ran to Pontsmill, using one of Treffry's old tramways, a petrol-powered locomotive shuttled up and down a short line to get clay trucks onto line to Par. Chimney was originally slightly taller until it was hit by lightning. Luxulyan, Cornwall, SW England, UK.
