The old-established firm of Kaye's operated the Southam cement plant. The company was taken over by Rugby Portland Cement in 1934. The plant as shown here could make around 70,000 tonnes of cement a year. The plant was refurbished in 1938, and steadily grew until by the 1970s it could make 600,000 tonnes a year. It finally shut down in February 2000. |
