Wheal Martyn Clay Works - A Local Story with International Reach

In this film, we explore objects from our collection relating to china clay mining and transportation. You can explore, pause, rewind, or fast forward this short film, which has been designed for reminiscence activities. It can be used by anyone. If you are interested in finding out more about our museum, we have many other videos on our channel, or you can visit our website using this link: https://www.wheal-martyn.com/ This film is one in a series of five, made at other museums across Cornwall.
