This part of the reserve is an industrial archaeology site, with the excavated remains of buildings and a pair of washmills. The wooded reserve is an old chalk pit which provided chalk for cement production between 1901 and 1931. The washmills were the first stage in the processing of chalk before it was used for making cement.
