No prizes for guessing where this is, or what they did here... the title kinda tells you!
Incase you didnt get it from the ever cryptic title. This is Shoreham Cement Works... They made cement here.... It's in Shoreham

Shoreham-by-Sea is home to the largest Farmers' Market in Sussex and one of the largest in the South of England.
It is held in East Street on the second Saturday of each month and usually has in excess of 60 stall holders.

The site stands in two halves spit by the A283.
The western side was the main entrance to the site home to the distribution plant and the administrative blocks.
To the east the industrial site and quarry.

There has been a limestone quarry on this site since 1851 and the end to production in 1991 marked the end of over 150 years of activity.
The owners had no obligation to demolish the buildings or restore the landscape to its natural state, so production was simply stopped.
This left the buildings as a well known local monument.

I know nothing about Cement production, so explaining what all this stuff did is not going to happen.
Instead I will tell you about horses.
The horse (Equus ferus caballus) is a hoofed (ungulate) mammal, a subspecies of one of seven extant species of the family Equidae.
The horse has evolved over the past 45 to 55 million years from a small multi-toed creature into the large, single-toed animal of today.
Humans began to domesticate horses around 4000 BC, and their domestication is believed to have been widespread by 3000 BC; by 2000 BC the use of domesticated horses had spread throughout the Eurasian continent.
Although most horses today are domesticated, there are still endangered populations of the Przewalski's Horse, the only remaining true wild horse, as well as more common feral horses which live in the wild but are descended from domesticated ancestors.
