The lime kilns date to the late 19th century, when limestone and chalk were burnt to produce the cement needed for the expansion of London and the docks. There is evidence of various style kilns in the area, but the most obvious are the flare kiln towers. The towers are now all listed buildings and the area is a nature reserve.
