The giant Lafarge site made wet mix cement for the construction industry from Devon to Gloucestershire, with everyone from self-employed builders to large-scale housing developers, office block construction sites and even motorway bridges using its products.
65 jobs were axed in September 2008 due to the knock on effect of the downturn in the housing market.
This left only one kiln and two cement mills open at the site with just 65 workers remaining.
That is untell February 2009 when the rest of the plant was mothballed leaving just a four employees.
Cement still comes to the plant via the railway for distribution purposes so there is still people about on site a lot of the time.
