Engine house at Baker's Pit

Baker's Pit was a china clay pit, dating from the early C19th. A pumping engine in this building pumped the clay slurry to the dry SW4835 : Remains of china clay works at Baker's Pit about 250 metres distant.

Looking along the length of the kiln towards the flue. The furnace doors are just below the bottom of the photo SW4835 : Furnace doors at Baker's Pit clay dry. 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.

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 SW4835 : The pan kiln at Baker's Pit clay dry.
