Porth Llanlleiana with its ruined buildings, the only remnants of a former china clay industry.

Hi! A good photograph and a wonderful area and I too was told it was a china clay production site. I believe however that it was the site of a copper smelting works. Do you have any information to throw any light on the matter?

I have also recently read that the site was linked to copper smelting. However I have also read about the china clay industry. The following link although not conclusive suggests china clay http://www.coflein.gov.uk/pls/portal/coflein.w_details?inumlink=6075536
