Full Description
Jetty at terminus of a tramway that runs from a chalk quarry situated south of Lower Northfleet indicated on the 1st ed OS map (1). Various tramlines appear to have crossed the quarry at different times but the terminus for these was at the same point on the jetty until some time in the first half of the 20th century. By the time the fourth edition OS map was produced the jetty appears not to be in use. (2) Area now occupied by LaFarge Blue Circle Cement works, it is not clear what historic features remains and what have been built over, no visible remains of the tramway noted during the 2005 coastal survey, but layout of the cement works means it may just have been missed (3)
