This plant pre-dates the timeframe of this work but is included because of its geographical relationship with Barhams. It had two dry process bottle kilns and made 50 t/week. As with other Bridgwater plants, its product may not have been strictly Portland cement at all. After closure, its quarry was taken over by Barhams. The plant probably used the River Parrett for most of its transportation. The site is largely covered now by Junction 23 of the M5.
