Close by Chinnor village, this factory was built in the 1920's to produce cement. In the 1940's workers cycled from Haddenham, Princes Risborough and the neighbouring villages to make up a work force of 140 at Chinnor. This 178-acre site was closed at Christmas 2000 as the chimney emission levels were unacceptable, and the cost of upgrading the systems too high.
