Our shed

This sign is on one of our large agricultural sheds. Researching the company produced the following information from the Vale of Aylesbury Plan:

In the 1930s the Crendon Concrete Company was set up at Drakes Farm, a short distance to the south‐east of the village. What started as small scale gravel extraction expanded into a highly successful industry producing concrete framed agricultural buildings and providing much needed employment during the depression years in Long Crendon. Competition in the late 1980s followed by a recession in the early 1990s eventually led to the closure of the Crendon Concrete Company in 1994.
