Around 1850 Thomas Cubitt established a brick works at Burham. Cement works were established soon after on an adjacent site. Webster & Co, an organisation which included George Smeed of Sittingbourne, took over in 1859. In the 1870s the Burham Brick, Lime and Cement Co was set up to run the site. Large areas of of brick-drying sheds existed by 1868, probably with kilns, processing machines and washbacks. Expansion was rapid. In 1880 lime kilns produced 950 tons of lime each. In the late 1890s 1500 tons were being produced. Two chamber kilns and 48 drying chambers were working together with a set of four washmills, a set of five grinding mills and two clinker grinder mills. By 1897 the site had been expanded further and became part of APCM in 1900. It expanded from 1912, with four rotary kilns producing 5000 tons of clinker each week. The clinker was taken by barge to Crown Works Frindsbury. The site has been levelled and it is difficult from map sources to distinguish between the brick and cement making sites, apart from an area of washbacks. The site is overgrown but bases of kilns and the grinding plant may still exist.
