Hoffmann Lime Kiln.
A continuous ring kiln, with its 40m chimney.
Built in 1899, it had a short working life.
The kiln was fuel efficient but labour intensive, and with the outbreak of war in 1914, able men were in demand and unpleasant limekiln work was unpopular.
In 2014 this kiln, and the surrounding lime workings, are open to visitors. |
