Swanscombe
Swanscombe is a small town in the District of Dartford in Kent, England. It is located east of Dartford and also 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 essential in the early history of concrete. The very first cement manufacturing works near Swanscombe were opened at Northfleet by James Parker, around 1792, making "Roman concrete" from concrete rock brought from the Isle of Sheppey. James Frost opened up a works at Swanscombe in 1825, making use of chalk from Galley Hill, having actually patented a brand-new cement called British Cement. The Swanscombe plant was subsequently obtained by John Bazley White & Co, which ended up being the largest element of Blue Circle Industries when it created in 1900. It finally shut down in 1990. Between 1840 as well as 1930 it was the largest cement plant in Britain. By 1882 several cement manufacturers were operating throughout the north Kent area, but the resulting dirt pollution drove individuals of Swanscombe to take legal action versus the regional cement works. Despite various technical technologies, the issue continued into the 1950s, with telegraph lines over an inch thick in white dust. Modern concrete kilns in Kent making use of smokeshafts 170 m (550 feet) in height are now claimed to be the cleanest worldwide. Nonetheless, the adjoining Medway towns are reported to be one of the most contaminated lived in area in the UK, and also the cement sector adds to acid rain in Scandinavia.
