Municipal Borough of St Austell with Fowey
St Austell with Fowey (pronounced "foy") was a municipal borough in Cornwall, United Kingdom. It was created in 1968 by a merger of the historic borough of Fowey and the much more populous St Austell urban district.[1] 50°20′17″N 4°47′38″W / 50.338°N 4.794°WCoordinates: 50°20′17″N 4°47′38″W / 50.338°N 4.794°W
