After the Foundry visit our group headed to Southam to attempt the old cement works. A good explore of some of the site was had but a run-in with security plus dog put an end to our fun. I couldn't get the same buzz out of this place that I get out of other industry though, I don't know what it is about cement works they just don't do it for me at all. Everything looks a bit samey after a while coated in the cement dust which is absolutely everywhere and despite the hugeness of the drums etc I'm just not excited by them, odd really.
The production plant closed in 1999 but the quarry and parts are still very much active, lots of trucks and other plant machinery scattered around the place.
