Cement silos


Recommended Posts

I'd like to have a model of a cement silo on my layout but I model mid 60s and wondered if it would be a bit early for one. I'm thinking about the vertical towers as featured in the MRJ Compendium #1 article "The Bucolic Silo" (at Barnstaple) and as seen at places like Avon Street and Lawrence Hill in Bristol or Beeston near Nottingham.

Thanks

Chris

Thanks - useful photo - I'm forming the view I can use this sort of silo for late 60's onwards but without the side skirts which seem to be a later addition.

Hi JCB

Thanks for the photo but I'm not sure if that's the whole www address -

and I think you are right if they are concrete I'm but not so sure about metal

Hi Gilbert , I should have put the location in it's Northenden , if you do google image search 'Blue Circle Cement Northenden' theres a few images , it still appears to be on the go with more modern silos.

Also realised its featured on this website about all kinds of goods facilities, which confirms pictured silos are early ones -
