ABANDONED Dock Railway

Between Swanscombe and Greenhithe in Kent, there used to be a railway branch that went to the largest cement works in the UK. Swanscombe Cement Works operated from 1825 to 1990. It had its own railway network which was linked to the North Kent Line. Manor Way passed through what was the middle of the works with a level crossing and went right down to the riverside wharves on the River Thames. I take a look and see what is left of this railway and follow it right down to the wharf.
Down by the wharf are the UKs tallest 400kV electricity pylon at 190 metres high!
