Sorry but I've been at it again , found an OS map of about 1950 that shows a very extensive internal rail system . I thought remembered reading about it on one of the info sheets , when the map opens go to the left side and middle and zoon in to get the detail . A link to the map here . https://maps.nls.uk/view/101725352

Maybe in these enlightened times it identifies as female , you cant be judgmental now . 😎

Oh Dave , I think once again you have missed the joke due to the way some words are used over here , the pun is that 'won kee' can be used in the form 'wonky' , an expression meaning out of line , not straight , at an angle . So the comment , not on the level is the joke , not that the place doesn't exist .

Further to the video above about Betchworth if you open it on the Youtube site there is a lot more info on the site with dates and more detail.

Also just found this Youtube site tour, no audio but it does give a good view of the other kilns .

I've done a bit more Googling for info about the site at Betchworth and found some details about the pictured kiln , it's actually a Smidth kiln , the Dietzsch kiln is lower down the site and mostly overgrown in the Google shot , but this page gives more detail on the positions . When the map opens zoom in to see more detail . https://mapcarta.com/W324253085
