Description: | Kentish White Brick Co.'s Pit, 1/2 m. NE of Ightham Church. Looking SW. Pit in Folkestone Sand. Another view of the pit shown in A7153, demonstrating variation in the purity of the sand. The darker horizons vary in colour according to the amount of iron impregnation and its oxidation, and tend to be more loamy; the pure, white sand desired in working shows up light. Note the mechanical excavator. See also A7155. |
