Shipton on Cherwell Cement Works, Shipton on Cherwell, May 2010

[Landie_Man]

Visited with True British Metal and his mate.

Closed in 1986, this site located in Rural Oxfordshire used to be an industrial mecca! Producing Cement from 1928 till 1986, it was operated by the Oxford and Shipton Cement Company, until Alpha Cement bought out in 1938, running till 1978 when it was taken over by Blue Circle Industries.

Half demolished, the site is now of scientific significance, and parts of it look live!

What a great day out! But Sun, cloud, heavy rain, hail, repeat in circle! What weather we had!

I love cement works. Will definitely pay a visit as i'm not too far away.

I've been told it has been used as a set for Dr. Who.
