Cement Factory
The delightful view of the Castle Cement works at Padeswood from far distant Nercwys. There are very few views of North East Wales which do not feature this charming addition to the landscape. Best still is the view at night, where numerous red lights serve to remind the viewer of Sauron's tower in Mordor.

Padeswood cement plant, 1977
Taken in 1977 from just west of Oak Tree farm. The two stacks shown here are now gone. The left hand one belongs to wet process kilns 1 & 2, and the right hand one belongs to dry process kiln 3. The plant was Britain's first post-war green field cement plant, starting up in 1949. It is unusual in that it was built some distance from both its limestone and its shale supplies. Kiln 3, started in 1966, was the first of only three "long dry" kilns installed in the British Isles. These rather old-fashioned kilns were replaced in 2005 by the exceptionally efficient modern kiln 4, adjacent to the south (right edge in this picture).
