British Gypsum: Brightling gypsum mine
In the 1970s and 1980s it supplied up to /yr of gypsum to the Robertsbridge wallboard plant, first via an aerial ropeway system and then a conveyor, which was installed in 1989. In the early 1990s the arrival of flue gas desulphurisation gypsum (FGD or DSG), rendered much of the mine''s gypsum less desirable for use in wallboard.
