Dist:0.9km<br/>River valleys are dammed in the china clay extraction areas to provide lakes in which fine particles of mica can settle. This prevents this waste product from going further downstream and settling in river estuaries.

Dist:0.9km<br/>I've struggled long and hard with the location of this but I think I'm right for the grid reference on the solitary engine house in the middle. Where I was stood is lost in the mists of 18 years. The engine house is one of the few with a roof and housed a 40" engine moved from a metalliferous mine at St Agnes. Here it drained a china clay pit which is now flooded as a mica dam. The engine was removed in 1944 and is in store at the Wroughton store of the Science Museum.
