Monument record TQ 67 NW 98 - J. B. White Portland Cement Works, Swanscombe
Summary
Cement works first opened in 1825 which went on to produce Portland cement. The works was supplied by river, with a tramway, and later aerial ropeway, and by a number of pits which were extracted around the site. The works remained in operation until the 1990's and the site was demolished between 1990 and 1995. Very little of the site would have remained.
