|   The Gillingham cement plant started in 1874, and was closed by Blue Circle in 1912.  It re-opened under new management in 1920, and was up-dated with a rotary kiln in 1930.  It was finally bought by the Rugby Portland Cement Company Ltd in 1938, and was promptly shut down. |   Dylan Moore | Saturday 4th of May 2013 02:14:48 AM |
