Description
The retaining wall to the lime kilns in Oakamoor dates from around 1806 and is constructed of coursed and roughly dressed sandstone, featuring ashlar blocks for the coping, archivolts, and buttresses. The wall is approximately 20 meters long and 7 meters high, supported by six inclined sections on the main west elevation. It includes a short return on the northwest elevation and has two semi-circular arched stoke holes situated between pairs of inclined sections. This structure was built in connection with the Uttoxeter Canal, which transported lime from nearby Cauldon Lowe to the Potteries. Lime burning at this site ceased in 1860 when owner Eli Bowers shifted operations to Froghall, having started there in 1858.
