cement

Hello all! First report so please be gentle... It's been a few months since my last explore and I recently got the itch again, so I decided to take a trip down to these old cement works to see what the fuss is all about. This is definitely up there with one of the harder (but most exciting)...

Hi there everyone I’ve recently become very interested in urban exploration and seen as I live so close to shoreham I figured this is the best place to start. All I really know is that there are massive drops that I need to look out for if I don’t want to plummet to my death so I could do with...

Monferrato Cement Works Giving off some Shoreham vibes this place made a nice explore. The former cement plant in Monferrato was built in 1894 on the site of a previous factory that extracted hydraulic lime. Marna da Cemento comes from deep oceanic deposits, formed around 60 million years...

The history Opened as a clay processing plant in 1904/1906 it once took in clay slurry from clay pits in St Neot parish via a 4 mile pipeline. Later modernisation of this site covered the remains of an earlier Iron Foundry and even earlier Paper Mill located to the north of the pan kilns. In...

Another from the archives. This time a trip to the land that keeps on giving when it comes to fantastic trips: Italy. Again with @Camera Shy @Cloth Head and @host After we arrived, we picked up the car and headed straight to the first on the list without visiting a supermarket for any kind of...

So as we come to the end of another year; this was my last proper explore this year; its been such a slow one for various reasons, but I'm gonna try and get out there again soon before the end of the year! I've had a lot of other things on this year but I am still raring to go. This was a nice...

The site at Shoreham is situated within the Beeding Chalk Pit which has been used since the early nineteenth century. The Beeding Portland Cement Company was founded in c.1878 and began cement production at the site in c.1883, with a recorded output of 144 tonnes of cement per week. The...

This is one of many tunnels that were used by the Northfleet cement works before it shut in 2008 it opened in the early 1900s I believe (cant find anything else older than that from the place) the tunnels were used to mine chalk and later on in WW2 most of them were converted into Air Raid...

I know very little about this location or the history surrounding it except that it was a factory used to produce cement. At one stage, game of thrones was also filmed on the land nearby but since then it has laid empty and crumbling. I explored in June 2021 and spent a few nice hours sitting on...

Visited with Ella. We had seen a post come up on Facebook about this place so decided to go and have a look. The whole place was wide open, no workers or security of any kind. We wandered around the site popping into various holes, most of which were short dead end shelters. We came to the...

Portland cement works, operated by Frost among others dating at least from c1833 on a site likely to have been used since the Roman era for lime burning. Traces of a bank of kilns probably dating from Frost's time have been found on site during redevelopment. The works were taken over by a...

This cement plant was founded in 1926 and is located along the Meuse. In July 2018 commercial limestone mining ceased and cement production ended permanently in August 2020.

Cementir/Buzzi Unicem Cement Works, Arquata Scrivia An Introduction Whilst preparing for a holiday abroad it made sense to add a few large industrial sites into the pool of places that could be visited. After logging a few generic factories and power stations the next focus was, by far the...

The factory was one of the largest in the region. The supply of raw material was provided by a nearby mine. Production peaked in the 1970s. Depleted after almost 100 years, the deposits and the outdated technology used here resulted in the decision to shut down the factory. Full Set
