A westward view from the ''up'' platform at Northfleet reveals the long redundant cement sidings on 19th July 2007. A three aspect colour signal remains, as do sections of the track work. After the commencement of building work for the adjacent international station, removal of track here began, in addition to the erecting of palisade fencing. © David Glasspool
An eastward view from Northfleet's ''up'' platform on 19th July 2007 reveals the extent of the remaining site. The palisade fencing dates from 2003. The elevated "domestic" platform of Ebbsfleet International can be seen in the background. © David Glasspool
The loop line to the cement works was routed through an exhausted chalk pit to the south of the works, once excavated by the previous Bevan Works operation. In the background, to the right, can be seen the land re-used for sidings for the Channel Tunnel Rail Link. Much of the surrounding area was cleared of vegetation for this, but plant life has since grown back. The electronic substation mentioned in the main text can clearly be seen on the left. Remaining track work from the loop line can just be seen emerging in the middle distance in this 19th July 2007 view, but this will become clearer in the next picture. © David Glasspool
