Two sugar silos were built by Laing for the British Sugar Corporation Limited at the Poppleton Sugar Beet Factory. They were designed to hold a total of 16, 000 tons of sugar and were the largest to have been built in the country when this photograph was taken. The prestressed post-tensioned concrete silos were made with sliding formwork using hydraulic climbing jacks
