Swanscombe
Swanscombe is a town in the District of Dartford in Kent, England. It is located east of Dartford and north-west of Gravesend, in the civil parish of Swanscombe and Greenhithe. At the 2001 UK census, the Swanscombe electoral ward had a population of 6,418. Swanscombe was important in the early history of cement. The initial concrete production works near Swanscombe were opened at Northfleet by James Parker, around 1792, making "Roman cement" from concrete rock brought from the Isle of Sheppey. James Frost opened up an operate at Swanscombe in 1825, using chalk from Galley Hill, having patented a brand-new concrete called British Cement. The Swanscombe plant was consequently obtained by John Bazley White & Co, which came to be the biggest part of Blue Circle Industries when it developed in 1900. It finally closed down in 1990. In between 1840 and also 1930 it was the largest cement plant in Britain. By 1882 several concrete makers were operating across the north Kent region, yet the resulting dirt contamination drove individuals of Swanscombe to take lawsuit versus the regional concrete works. In spite of different technological developments, the trouble lingered right into the 1950s, with telegraph lines over an inch thick in white dirt. Modern cement kilns in Kent using chimneys 170 m (550 feet) in elevation are now claimed to be the cleanest in the world. Nevertheless, the adjoining Medway towns are reported to be one of the most polluted lived in location in the UK, as well as the concrete sector adds to acid rain in Scandinavia.
