Emmer Green (Hanover) Chalk Mine

The Emmer Green (Hanover) Chalk Mine is an extensive abandoned subterranean chalk mine at Emmer Green, north of Reading in Berkshire, located just north of the junction of Peppard Road and Kiln Road (OS Grid Ref: SU722769).

The mine is so named because the land is now owned by the Hanover Housing Association who have a development adjacent at Wordsworth Court.

The area was once known as Rose Hill and contained brickfield and chalk mining works.

[3] Access is through a 50-foot (15 m) fixed steel ladder in a narrow vertical shaft below a locked iron cover.
