Monument record TQ 86 NW 209 - Site of Sharpe's Green Cement works, Horrid Hill, Gillingham
Summary
The Sharpe's Green Cement Works was established by Cary and Bernard before 1908. It utilised Horrid Hill, an island connected by a causeway from the shore near Rainham. This causeway was built up to allow chalk to be brought via rail from the works' put on the shore. The works became part of the British Portland Cement Manufacturers in 1911 and was closed two years later.
