Full Description
[TQ6342 7037] On 10th October 1972, in the course of building operations on a new housing estate in `The Drove Way', of Istead Rise, Northfleet, two comparatively shallow chalkwells were broken into by the contractors, who stated that when they first broke into these chalk workings one of the chambers still retained a wall of flints which had been deliberately set up to block its entrance from the shaft. Nothing was found to date the period of the chalkwells construction. (1)
