Site of cement works opened in 1914 by E J and W Goldsmith, barge owners. The works had one rotary kiln. Chalk was quarried from a pit to the south of the Lower Rainham Road, and connected by a short tramway, passing under a bridge. The wharf to the west was developed as the cement dock with store houses erected around it on the east and north sides. The site has been cleared to ground level, and the works site has become a nature reserve. The footprint of silos and other buildings can be traced on the main works site, and of the store houses on the wharf.
