St Blazey (Cornish: Lanndreth) is a small town in Cornwall, 3 miles (4.8 km) east of St Austell. The town takes its name from the Armenian Saint Blaise who, in Christian tradition, is believed to have "cure[d] toothache, sore throats and cattle diseases". The local mining industries once dominated the town; historically copper and tin were mined in and around the parish, whilst more recently china clay has been the principal commodity mined. Image is located about a mile and a half (2 km) from the centre of the town and the large number of visitors this attracts has led to the development of tourism in the town. St Blazey.
