Old tramway embankment: Halling
A tramway connected the chalk quarries to the west with the Halling Manor cement plant on the north side of Ferry Road. It crossed Ferry Road on a bridge, the western abutment of which can be seen on the right of the frame. For details, see www.cementkilns.co.uk/cement_kiln_halling_manor.html and related pages.

Wall of the former Bishop's Palace at Halling
The Bishop’s Palace was built in 1077 by Bishop Gundulph as a residence for the Bishops of Rochester. Bishop Hamo de Hethe repaired and enlarged the Bishop's Palace between 1322 and 1337. In the 16th century the Bishopric fell into difficulties and was leased to the Dallison family, in whose hands it remained until the 19th century. During this period the Palace started to fall into decline and was being used as a farm until the creation of the Halling Manor Lime and Cement Works in 1871 and the railway that served it. The remains of the railway embankment can still be seen cutting through the centre of the site, adjacent to the medieval Palace walls.
This section of wall, with the churchyard beyond, is the most visible part of the Palace remaining. The whole area has now been landscaped and provides fine views of the River Medway.
