Dist:0.6km<br/>The Cornwall Wildlife Trust, which now owns the area, has recently carried out much work to clear vegetation and this has revealed these cast iron doors, which are in remarkably good condition. For context see [[2340518]].

Dist:0.6km<br/>Looking along the length of the kiln towards the flue. The furnace doors are just below the bottom of the photo [[2340531]]. The clay was laid out on the floor of the dry and the heat travelled under the floor from the furnace to the flue, drying the clay in the process.

Dist:0.6km<br/>This is the chimney of the pan kiln, where the better quality clay was dried. Baker's Pit is the amalgamation of several of the early clay pits of the Towednack area, including Bedlam Green, Bohemia, Little Bohemia, Georgia, Little Georgia and Polhigey. These works date back to the early 19th century. In 1868 or 1869 the works were acquired by William King Baker and Company. Baker died in 1910 and the works were taken over by the Loverings, subsequently Lovering and Pochin Ltd., only to stop for the Great War. The pit reopened shortly after the end of the war but did not get back to full production, despite an attempt to install electrical equipment. Baker's Pit passed into the hands of the newly formed English China Clays in 1932 and officially closed in 1942.
