Hope Valley Cement Works
Taken just over a week ago during a morning wandering around Surprise View, and surrounding area.
Not a great deal happened with the light apart from a brief 5 minute window where I managed to capture this.
Some say the cement works are a blot on the landscape, for me the building is more like a cathedral.
Hope has the capacity to make around 1.5 million tonnes of cement each year
The cement is vital for UK construction - from homes and hospitals to railways and regeneration
Over 200 people work at Hope in a variety of jobs.
Most live within a few miles of the site
Studies show the works contributes over £60 million to the local economy every year
Our cement is made with local limestone and shale blended with imported shale substitutes
Up to half the fuel used in Hope's kilns comes from wastes that may otherwise go to landfill
