Steam locomotive at Swanscombe chalk quarries ? 1968
The quarries fed the Associated Portland Cement Manufacturers plant at Swanscombe, and the line included several tunnels below roads. The view gives some idea of the depth of the quarrying. The locomotive is No.7, built by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns of Newcastle in 1948.
