Fire at Great Blakenham
A large fire had broken out at Sacker's scrapyard, closing the road and causing delays on the nearby railway: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpdlq7pvyy1o

Claydon station (remains), 1985
View southward, towards Ipswich and London: ex-GER London - Ipswich - Norwich main line. Although the wires are up, electric trains had only begun to reach Ipswich on 13/5/85 and did not run on to Norwich until 11/5/87! However, this station was closed to passengers from 17/6/63, to goods from 31/3/71. The signalbox was evidently still active. The strange building on the right was part of the Cement Works at Claydon.

Slurry Tank: Mason's Cement Works, Great Blakenham
This plant used the "wet process" in which the raw materials were ground together with water to produce a slurry with approximately the consistency of paint. The slurry was then fed to the kiln which successively dried, calcined and sintered it at 1400°C to form Portland cement clinker. The raw materials here were Upper Chalk and Boulder Clay from quarries in Image The slurry contained around 32% of water by mass: this had to be evaporated, at significant energy-cost. Because of this, wet process plants have been progressively phased out over the last thirty years. There are currently (2008) only three wet-process cement kilns left in operation in the British Isles. For more details, see http://www.cementkilns.co.uk/cement_kiln_masons.html.
2009 Update: there are now no wet process kilns left: the last one (Westbury Kiln 2 Image) shut down in 2009.
