Site of Demolished Works
Image: © Nigel Mykura Taken: 18 Sep 2011
This is the site of the former works of the Wheeler Reconstructed Stone Company which produces artificial stone from a mix of cement and crushed Bath stone.This is used in new build house projects as a cheap replacement for natural stone. They appear to have relocated to Marsh Lane, Temple Cloud but it is uncertain if they are still manufacturing. In this image it can be seen that on the remaining site there appears to be evidence of an old kiln , perhaps a lime kiln.
