According to the 1940's O.S. map Hawkhurst Moor Farm buildings would have been to the right of the picture. It was on these fields that, in the late 80's, it was planned to build the largest coal mine in Europe. The Public Inquiry did not approve it. The "remains" of the Massey Ferguson Works and the remaining tower block can be seen in the distance.
