This road was built on the site of the Wareham cement works, owned by the Dorset Portland Cement Company Ltd. It operated from 1875 to 1922. The kilns in question (of which there were five) were on the site of the houses at the far end, on the right. For more details, see [http://www.cementkilns.co.uk/cement_kiln_wareham.html].
