Felsted Beet Sugar Factory, Flitch Green, Uttlesford, Essex. An interior view looking up towards the partially completed conical roof of a sugar silo at Felsted Beet Sugar Factory, with a Laing employee gesturing towards the roof.
A sugar factory was built near Felsted in 1926. The first silo to be built by Laing at Felsted Beet Sugar Factory was constructed in 1956 and took three weeks; the second silo was built in six days in 1974. The factory produced sugar until 1981 and the site was then used for storage until 1991. It was later redeveloped for housing. This photograph was published in the April 1974 edition of Team Spirit, the Laing newsletter
