Dist:0.7km<br/>In the centre of the view is the preheater tower of Padeswood cement plant's No 4 kiln. The kiln itself is the horizontal cylinder immediately to the right. This high-efficiency kiln was commissioned in 2005. The plant was originally commissioned in 1950 with two wet-process kilns. Kiln 3 - a long dry process kiln - was commissioned in 1964. The present kiln replaces the earlier ones, and is probably the most energy-efficient in the UK. For more details, see http://www.cementkilns.co.uk/cement_kiln_padeswood.html.

Dist:0.8km<br/>The Padeswood Cement works dominates the landscape, particularly with the construction of the new shaft oven. This operates at high enough temperatures to enable old motor types to be burnt without emitting harmful residues.
