A lime and cement works was established at Halling prior to 1846 when it was purchased by William Lee. From 1855 it was run by the company Lee, Son & Smith until at least 1900. In 1868 the works consisted of several large banks of limekilns. All the kiln banks were connected to branch lines from the main line railway and by standard gauge railway from Lee's Pit, to the west of Holborough House. By the end of the nineteenth century the southern banks of lime kilns were still in opperation but the northern part of the works had expanded dramatically and had been rebuilt as a cement works. A series of large processing buildings were situated at the centre of the site. By 1938 the old lime kilns at the site's southern end were disused as was the dock at the northern end. A derelict engineering shed related to the railway is all that remains now at the site.
