I'm waiting for someone to tell me it's kiln 4 (the Unax kiln), but I think it's too early. Were Bevans coolers below the firing floor?	Dylan Moore	Tuesday 16th of October 2012 08:56:17 PM
Picture of APCM's Bevans Cement Plant . The plant had been shut down in 1921 for a complete re-build, and the first of the three new kilns was lit up on 23/03/1926. When the third kiln was lit in the following August, it became Britain’s largest plant. A fourth kiln was installed at the end of 1928. The plant shut down in 1970 when it was replaced by the adjacent Northfleet plant. Here we have a rare view of Kiln 3 through the open side of the kiln house. Kiln 4 was subsequently installed in the empty space in front.	Dylan Moore	Tuesday 16th of October 2012 08:54:30 PM
