Wilkinson & Leng

Location:

Clinker manufacture operational: 1900-1906

Approximate total clinker production: 12,000 tonnes

Raw materials: Blue Lias Limestone (Blue Lias Formation: 190-200 Ma) from ?

Ownership:

Whether this builders’ merchant made Portland cement is very questionable: it is attested only by Francis, based on his information from E. J. B. Akerman. There might have been two dry process bottle kilns to make the declared output of 60 t/week. Maps and aerial photography show nothing like that at the assumed location.

Please contact me with any relevant information or corrections.

No rotary kilns were installed.
