For the last Warehouse Wednesday of the year, something a little different - a cement silo.
This can be found on Foxes lane, a short walk from the city centre. Google maps has an interesting aerial view of the fairly small site. Quite where the conveyor belt is lifting material from is a bit of a mystery, even looking down on the site.
Constructing something along these lines for a model shouldn't be too hard. There's a load of corrugated iron and a steel hopper. Add in some suitable lorries and this could be squeezed into a odd corner of a layout pretty easily but provide some real industrial atmosphere. Best of all, this is a permanent site, not one put up for building works and then spirited away later.

Perfect! It's where the material is dropped off from the lorry to be stored in the silo.
That's what I love about blogging - helpful answers to questions. Thanks very much.
