China Clay is decomposed granite, which is found in very few places around the world. The deposits in Cornwall and Devon are the largest. The clay is used in papermaking, paints, porcelains, dyes and cosmetics.
China clay was discovered in Cornwall by Cookworthy in 1746. By 1850, there were seven thousand employees in the St Austell district, extracting, transporting and exporting the clay. Production methods have changed considerably due to advances in modern technology, but the industry was one of Cornwall’s largest employers for many years.
