Monument record TQ 77 NW 1257 - Area F of Curtis's and Harvey Ltd Explosives Factory, Cliffe
Summary
Area F is in the south-west, and is bisected by the main road coming in to the site, creating two zones. North-east of the road are 'two large, square traverses, and a series of drains, tanks and circular settling ponds, indicating another explosives processing area'. The south-west zone is mainly undeveloped marshland cut by drainage ditches, although 'an unusual concrete footing and a pair of large, circular hollows reminiscent of exploded buildings' are grouped along the far south-west boundary.
