Heritage Open Day as Popular as Ever
September 21, 2023
Last week Rugby Cement plant welcomed around 95 members of the general public to its site as part of a two-day Heritage Open Day event. This is an annual, national initiative to open various sites of historic interest across the country for members of the public to visit.
Visitors enjoyed a tour of the Cement plant, alongside audio visual presentations on the history and development of cement making on the site. They also had the opportunity to travel to the top of the 120-metre-high preheater tower and enjoy stunning views across the Warwickshire countryside.
Chiedza Mupfumira, Social Impact Specialist for Cemex UK, said: “It's wonderful to welcome so many enthusiastic visitors to our plant for our Heritage Open Days this year. The Rugby Cement plant has been part of the local community since 1865 and we know people love having the opportunity to come inside and see how cement is made. We hope those who have attended enjoyed their tour!”
