Cement Works - 5 - Sources of Information Online

Further to a request for information sources here are some of the most useful sources of information about cement works I have found online which vary in era and mainly of UK origin.

1) General Process Information :-

2) Works, equipment, process, including a site plan, Masons, Ipswich, UK, Originally built 1914

3) YouTube video "Look at Life Vol 01 transport High, wide and Faster 1963",

Time 8:05 onwards the loading of CEMFLO wagons at the Blue Circle plant at Cliffe, Kent.

Probably applicable to PRESFLO wagons too.




4) More information about the Cliffe plant at :-

5) Later the Cliffe site became a gravel works, the cement work features appear to have been left to decay but are still visible in the site photographs. In particular the cement wagon loading facilities are visible.

A scaled down version is due for my cement works model.

There are numerous videos on YouTube particularly from Asia which give guided tours of modern cement plants.

I hope this is of use and if any links are wrong please let me know and I will correct them.
