About St Austell - show infohide info

St Austell is a town in the county of Cornwall. The town's population is thought to be greater than that of Truro, the county capital city, and is approximately 28,000. The town was first referenced by Henry VIII, who despite mentioning it as a town, described it as more befitting a village surrounding a church. A granite bridge, clearly older than the surrounding buildings, spanned the river which flows through the town. The town was originally involved with tin and copper mining, however with the discovery of China Clay in the hills around the town. Clay mining soon came into its own, when in the 19th century the values of tin and copper fell causing the closure of most of the tin and copper mines in the area. The profitablility and abundance of clay brought in many labourers and their families, and so the population of St Austell grew rapidly. Thus, services in the town expanded and new ones opened to support the new population. Today, mining employs just 3,000 people, much decreased from its peak earlier on. Despite this, the mines produces a much higher output than ever before. The town now is involved with tourism, with the nearby Eden Project drawing in thousands of visitors annually, as well as nearby beaches in the summer. St Austell is also a service town, with a number of shops and restaurants for local inhabitants. Several well known fast food chains have outlets in the town, and a number of take-away's exist in St Austell too. St Austell has a rail station which lies on the main Great Western Main Line, and sees services between Penzance and London Paddington, plus local services to Cardiff via Bristol, and Virgin Cross Country services to Scotland. Nearby towns to St Austell include Truro, St Blazey, Fowey, Lostwithiel, Bodmin, Wadebridge, Padstow, Newquay, Redruth, Camborne, Falmouth and Plymouth.
