Monument record TQ 77 NW 122 - Johnson's cement works, The Quarry Works, Cliffe

Summary

Site of I C Johnson's Cement Works at Cliffe thought to have been in use from 1853?-1908?. Also know as the Quarry Works. Seen as a nationally important site due the use of Johnson's patent chamber kilns shortly after their invention at his Gateshead works in 1872. Much is now destroyed after the construction of a Petrol Storage Depot. The Canal (see TQ 77 NW 123) and Tramway (see TQ 77 NW 124) linked the works to Cliffe Creek and the Nine Elms Works (see TQ 77 NW 37).
