FUTURE OF OXTED QUARRY

Extraction was undertaken initially on a small scale but in the mid-19th century operations expanded and a number of lime kilns were developed... The quarry was considerably expanded when the Oxted Greystone Lime Company Limited was formed and connected the quarry to the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway via a private freight siding in the 1880s. Additional lime kilns were developed and extraction increased. The railway continued to operate until the 1940s.
