Various visitor graffiti in Eastry caves, many of the long established village family names can be found on the walls. Exact location and view direction very difficult to estimate. Eastry Chalk Mine was started in 1811 for a lime burning business and remained in production until 1914. See http://www.undergroundkent.co.uk/eastrymine.htm
