The Wenford Dries, built at the turn of the last century, are an impressive reminder of this heritage. They are now derelict, sitting proudly at the start of the Camel Trail in Wenfordbridge.

Clay was blasted from the ground by water cannon and pumped to the settlement tanks, where it was dried by the furnace before being loaded onto the railway trucks to supply the local potteries. There is still a working pottery at Wenfordbridge.

Cykling

The Wenford Dries was built in the early 20th C, to dry china clay slurry, the china clay slurry was moved from the quarry some miles away by pipe line and placed in massive settling tanks at the rear of the building, this slurry was then poured in to drying tanks above long furnaces, these were fired from one end and large flue chimneys drew the hot gasses through the dryers, the dry china clay was removed from the top and moved down to the end of the building to be stored and then sent out via train.
