- St_Austell_River abstract "The St Austell River (Cornish: Dowr an Wynyk, meaning the little white river) properly known as the River Vinnick, but historically called The White River, is a 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) long river located in south Cornwall, England, United Kingdom. 50.337°N 4.793°W / 50.337; -4.793. The river has also been known as the \"red river\" due to tin streaming and mining activity upstream.The river drains the central southern section of the St Austell Moorland, the second largest granite mass in Cornwall, an upland formed in the Variscan orogeny, to the north of St Austell. The highest natural point of the moorland is Hensbarrow Beacon at 312 metres (1,024 ft); however modern china clay mining waste tips now rise above it.The name White River has been adopted locally because waste water from china clay quarrying and refining practices was emptied into the river giving it a white colour. Prior to the industrial revolution, tin streaming and shallow lode-back mining occurred on quite a large scale along the river and on the moorland around it. This activity caused the river to run red, a situation that was exacerbated as mechanised mining came to the area with the advent of the industrial revolution. The then-tiny fishing port of Pentewan was used to export a small amount of tin, but suffered from silting due to the mine waste in the river. After the cessation of metal mining in the area as it began to give over to clay extraction, the river began to run clear and the silt soon cleared. At this point the port of Pentewan was identified as an ideal point of export for the new china clay material, and it was soon undergoing improvement works. However, as the china clay industry picked up, wastes began to find their way into the river again, this time in the form of sand and mica, and the harbour soon silted again. Commercial use continued until the 1950s, after which the port only lasts for another ten years seeing use for leisure craft only before it silted up for good.The local term White River has given its name to the St Austell Town Centre Redevelopment Scheme, which is now called White River Place.".
