Description:

 

Marden Mine is a mine dug into the Upper Greensand of North Surrey. This has had a long and varied history and undergone a variety of uses. In brief: it started in the mid 19thC as a firestone quarry virtually identical to and contemporary with Godstone Main Series (GMS) just ½ mile to the west. In the late 19thC, like GMS it was used as a mushroom farm, this ceased during the Great War when it appears that the mushroom workers (who were French) returned home to fight – some clearly did not come back.
