Visited with Catullus. These photos are from 2 visits – the first visit was in April 2011, but we were caught by security and escorted from the site before we’d seen everything. So we returned in December 2011 to see the rest of the site.
Shoreham Cement Works was erected in 1949, however the quarry dates back to 1851 and cement was manufactured on the site since at least 1898. The cement was fired in two 350ft kilns. It closed in 1991 and a distribution depot on the site ceased operating in 1997.
There are currently plans to turn the sire into flats, cafes and shops: http://www.shorehamherald.co.uk/new...lans_for_upper_beeding_cement_works_1_2547922
