China clay workings

China clay workings

A monitor is a very powerful hose that is used in hydro static mining. China clay is a component of decaying granite and the extraction and processing of it is a industry well over 150 years old. It is used in the manufacture of paper and ceramics. It continues today and dominates the landscape of south west Dartmoor with its substantial spoil heaps, pits and pools.
