Slurry screener house. Slurry from the washmills was lifted up here by elevator and screened: the fine slurry ran into the slurry mixer, and the oversize material ran into a ball mill, and thence back to the elevator inlet for further screening.

The British Standard cement plant (sometimes referred to as Rainham Works, but not to be confused with the plant at Rainham, Essex) was established by E J & W Goldsmiths and started up in 1913. It was acquired by the Red Triangle group in 1928, and following the collapse of the latter in 1931 was taken over by APCM and promptly shut. The sole method of transport was shallow-draught river barge.



The power house can be seen to be operating.
