This was originally the entrance to the Gillingham cement plant, which operated intermittently between 1874 and 1939. For details, see www.cementkilns.co.uk/cement_kiln_gillingham.html and related pages. The old, pre-WWI plant was in the land to the right. After WWI, the plant extended onto the west side of the road, and a rotary kiln was built on the land now occupied by Waterside Lane.
