Hog Lane
Hog Lane is a "spine" of chalk between two disused chalk pits which ceased operations in the 1920's. It links the Image roundabout and central Grays. 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 the road to collapse. See http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-32930839 for the full story. See also Image 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
