Formerly Baggeridge Works but now owned by Weinerberger. From fossil material dug up in the clay pits in 1985, Dr W T Blows identified a Dinosaur subspecies later called Polacanthus Rudgwickensis. The dinosaur was approx 4 metres long and lived around 125 million years ago, some fragments can be found in Horsham Museum.
