Converted foundry building and new housing at Charleston. Some of the foundry's products still survive - for example the 35' diameter high breastshot waterwheel at the Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum and country park, on the other side of St Austell. The foundry site is in St Austell Bay, a new parish created on 1 April 2009
