China Clay Works, Small Tin Mines and other industries?

Does anyone have any pics they can scan in or whatever of the following industrys

China Clay work's
Small tin mins and tin streams
Rolling mills
Early blast furnaces eg Blist's Hill

To be honest any industrys like that that are not in citys etc like cotton mills if you get my jist   Wink

I love drawing things for the railway and aulthough most will not get done i still love planning them  Very Happy

Thanks Mike!

If you do get some pics, can you also get some of the small details that might otherwise be ignored such as little mountings and other odds and sods around it Wink

This for a layout? of Mamod railway?

It would be for the Garden Railway.

I have designed lots of industrys already but have started to run out of ideas so i thought id ask on here Wink

I always prefer the older industries in the countryside as opposed to big mills in citys.

I dont know why, maybe its the more ramshackle nature to them where the things working came before looking good-if you get my idea Laughing

I really must visit a lot of industrial sites in Cornwall and Wales!

Would give me some inspiration hopefully Very Happy
