History.
They started making cement here by mixing stuff up a while ago. They put stuff in big turny things & heat it up, and cement comes out the end - 1.3 million tonnes per year.
This report is made up of more than one visit, and you all know how long it takes me to get my pictures sorted. In attendance were Me, Millhouse, Tweek, Horus, Fishbrain, Sho, Gone & Over.
Much fun was had, many runs were run, and lots & lots of big turny round things were seen. I'm really getting to like this live infil.
It's been said that this place is dead, well when we were there building works was going on, 24hr works it would seem too. At one point we spotted a guy working infront of us, to turn round and realise that we'd wandered into the middle of a group of workers. We extricated oursleves from that situation well.
The building works means that the chimney is laddered & scaffed. 132.5mtr reinforced concrete. So we climbed it. The wind was amazingly strong, a few times I thought we were going to be blown off the ladder, and the swing of the chimney was more than I've felt on anything else. Madness.
On with the pics.
