I've added a bit of information to this, some of it is cited and verified and some of it not, although for the most part I'd say it's all fairly reliable. I hope to include this and all the rest of the Cornish china clay related articles in a wikiproject on Cornish china clay at some point, which hopefully will allow linking this article to a number of articles on the broader subject of clay mining in Cornwall. If anyone would be interested in contributing then please do let me know. ▫Bad▫harlick♠ 18:04, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

I have already posted articles on the broad gauge railways serving the China Clay District, e.e. the Lostwithiel and Fowey Railway, and added a section on Par Harbour and Canal to the article on Par, Cornwall. I have the Cornwall Mineral railways on my to do list, but I'm not sure when I will be getting round to it. Should we link them all with a new category? Geof Sheppard 08:29, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Now that you mention it, I am beginning to think that creating a new category might have more impact than a wikiproject. Re the mineral railways, I have a large (and I mean LARGE) collection of photographs that I personally have taken of the branch lines (mostly of the works along the lines, including the Fowey branch/docks, Lansalson branch, Goonbarrow branch, Parkandillack branch, Carbis & Wheal Rose branch lines, as well as a few of the others that have no designated "branch as such" (IE Trenance kiln, Burngullow, Par Moor kilns, Par docks dryers, Rocks dryers, etc). The only thing that I am missing is the Retew branch, Wenford Bridge kilns, and Drinnick mill, the latter was demolished entirely before I had a chance to take photographs. I also have all Maurice Dart's books on the subject, and I am an acquaintance of said author, so all of his photo archives and knowledge are also available to me. Let me know if you need anything in that vein. ▫Bad▫harlick♠ 00:36, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
