Wheal Martyn Museum
Jon Hird
I paid a visit to Wheal Martyn China Clay museum today (24.03) to buy an annual locals pass. This is available to all cornish residents, but must be purchased by the end of the month. The museum is a treasure-trove for anyone with even a passing interest in the local clay industry, and also has some items of railway interest as seen below.
