Habitat Restoration in Grays Gorge
Grays Chalk Pit SSSI was being degraded in scientific interest as it was becoming secondary woodland. Tree felling is the first stage of restoring 50% of the floor of the pit to chalk grassland supporting rare plants and invertebrates which was why the SSSI designation was earned. The site is owned and managed by Essex Wildlife Trust http://www.essexwt.org.uk/.

Hog Lane Sinkhole
On 29th May 2015 an HGV learner driver and his instructor had a nasty surprise when the back wheel of the truck caused a tunnel below Image to collapse. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-32930839 for the full story. Hog Lane is a "spine" of chalk between two disused chalk pits which ceased operations in the 1920's. The Western pit is now partly the Badgers Dene housing estate with its northern end being a nature reserve Image The eastern pit now houses the Titan Works industrial area. In former times narrow gauge railways passed under the road in several places, it is thought that one of these is the cause of the massive traffic disruption in Grays
