Brockham & Betchworth Limeworks - Surrey - 2016

[Gromr]

Nice was a nice little explore, quite relaxed.

History

There is a lot of history to these Lime works, which can be found here:

The Lime Works and Industrial Brockham - Brockham History


The Limeworks closed in 1930, and has since been handed over the Surrey County Council. They have been carrying out recent restoration work.


The Explore

Went here with a friend for a nice easy explore on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
The site is on a public footpath, so its a very nice relaxed explore. The old engine shed was quite a interesting little place and you could still see the tracks in concrete.
The Kiln Battery is a prominent feature and is very much intact. Getting in was pretty amusing.



First the Engine shed.

Nice work Gromr! I've always wondered who put that retro chair inside there!

Nice little place this. I haven't seen inside the kilns before, looks like they've been doing work recently. The well is actually a shaft used to quarry hearthstone. There were extensive tunnels under the hill here.
