Concrete works
This is a ready-mix concrete plant owned by Tarmac Topmix. The silo contains cement which is delivered from a Cement Works by pressure tanker and is blown into the silo through the pipes to the right. At the bottom of the silo (practically hidden by the tree) is a weigher for dispensing the materials, and beneath it a pan mixer which discharges into ready-mix trucks. The hopper in the centre has three bins (numbered) which contain different sizes of aggregate. The bins are topped up by the conveyor which can be swung across to feed them in turn. The conveyor is fed by the feeder to the right which is presumably loaded with a front-loader that picks up from the piles in the yard.

Flood channel on Cartsburn Street
The Carts Burn is culverted at this point and this channel was constructed to control the flow of excess water in the event that the culvert became overwhelmed during flood conditions. An Automated Self-Cleaning Trash Screen was installed at the entrance to the culvert (at the grey fence in the distance) in January 2015 to reduce the risk of such flooding in future (flooding last occurred here in 2011). Further down Cartsburn, the pavement on the west side of the street has been modified to act as further flood channel, with a large drain at its end Image
