Information:
Just to classify, I visited this location in September 2024, locating the actual site was not too hard if you stick to the path. There was no security, only a few wire fences that have rusted. Quite a bit of graffiti, but that didn't take away from the old machinery and buildings too much. Using a blueprint of the site, I went to the various buildings. This was my first time exploring and was extremely fun! However, in some other reports there where warnings of Asbestos, so keep that in mind. There where also a lot of weak ceilings and rusted framework, so watch your step! Photo's taken are on my phone so the quality may not be exquisite.
Blueprint used:
Chalk Pit, not the factory itself, factory is North East of the chalk pit
Following Images where when we got to the actual factory
Old truck, the structure behind was the base of the kilns
warehouse
Inside the main buildings, supposedly where the limestone would be sorted
Conveyor Belt
These were the Kilns, be mindful as they are surrounded by rusted metal
Inside the Crusher
Final Points:
This is my first post so my apologies if I have missed anything. At first glance we thought there wasn't much to see, but after climbing a few smaller hills to get to some main buildings and sights it was worth it. The Kilns, conveyor belt and crusher where a bit higher up, the crusher was surrounded by a lot of wire mesh. However, it was mostly piled and easy to get around. We arrived there at around 4pm and stayed for around 2 hours. Definitely better in person compared to these photos.
Thank you for reading my first post.
Take care
