Monument record TQ 77 NW 123 - Cliffe Creek Canal, Cliffe

Summary

Disused canal from chalk pit/cement works to Cliffe Creek, connecting a chalk quarry to the Thames. Earthworks of this canal survive. It was built before 1843 to take chalk from a pit to a whitening works at the head of Creek (see TQ 77 NW 125). Later used by Johnson`s Cement Works (see TQ 77 NW 123). A later tramway used by the cement works probably ran on a track to the north of the canal (see TQ 77 NW 124).
