For a long time the fate of Shoreham cement has been balancing on the knife edge held by the local council executives. Shoreham’s owners at the time, Blue Circle, had planned to redevelop the site, bringing it up to modern standards, aiming to reopen it in 2010. I don’t know anything about the cement industry, i don’t really care enough to look into it. However, from the cement works I’ve seen in and around London, sites which take up less then 1/30th of the space Shoreham does, i cant help but feel it would be easier and cheaper to just bulldoze the entire site and start anew?

Drapers Gardens, a now demolished skyscraper which once stood at 100 meters (328ft) tall. Completed in 1967 it was demolished into 2007, making way for a modern, 16 story tower. Drapers currently holds the record for being the tallest building to be demolished in the UK.

Soho baths is easily the most recognisable and famous of Londons victorian swimming baths, winning a selection to be fully restored and reopened. We were lucky to go when we did as it was just before work had started and luckily they had forgot to turn on the alarms. Whoops.

Not really an explore more of a “meet and eat chilli” event. R.A.F Stenigot is a collection of large old school radar dishes which were used during WW2.
