The top edge of this huge chalk quarry is seen on the right....the chimney & buildings of the old cement works on the left.There was a limestone quarry on this site from 1851, and the end to production in 1991 marked the end of over 150 years of activity. The owners had no obligation to demolish the buildings or restore the landscape to its natural state, so production was simply stopped, leaving the buildings as a well known local monument.
