This was in fact the one remaining pylon of the ropeway that once brought limestone from the southwestern part of the foreshore. I recently found pictures of this in operation, and these will be found on my website. |

The Lyme Regis cement plant began in the 1820s making an imitation “Roman Cement” from concretions in the Lias Shale. The plant began making Portland cement around 1885, and was converted to chamber kiln operation around 1899. Like many such small marine-based plants, it faded away during WWI. This image appears to show a structure in the water (it's high tide) which may have been associated with getting Lias limestone from the beach. Various footings are still there today. |
