Description
The lime kilns, dating from the early 19th century, are constructed from rock-faced sandstone ashlar and feature brick arches and spandrels lining the furnaces. A massive retaining wall, approximately 12 meters high and 50 meters long, is divided into six bays by battered sections of stonework. Each bay has a round-arched entrance, about 2 meters high, set on impost bands, with a dentilled band above each arch beneath the stonework. The kilns are part of a group located at the head of the Caldon Canal, which includes a tramway terminus, a warehouse, and a bridge. The canal was built around 1779 to transport limestone from Caldon Low, with the stone being brought down to the canal head via tramway.
