English term (edited):
former china clay pit
(antiga) mina (de extracção) de caulino
Maybe better to include former on your question.
China-clay is Caulino, and I know it because I saw tons of it being discharge during my 7 years experience as water clerk.
Pit is also a mine.
De extracção describes the kind of labour (extraction of china-clay) but you don't have to use it. People will understand perfectly if you only say ANTIGA MINA DE CAULINO.
Hope this helps. Cheers.

: although working in the opposite direction (PT»EN) 18 months later, I can confirm this would have been the better answer - thanks João, you resolved something for me in my own work this morning.
