For more than 100 years, the Copyhold Works of the Fuller's Earth Union Ltd extracted the grey, mineral-rich clay known as "fuller's earth" and sold it on to a range of sectors from the wool trade to the oil industry.
It's also used as cat litter, and while most fuller's earth is now imported, until 1997 Redhill was one of only three sites in the UK where the valuable substance could be quarried
