Full Description
Site of the Tininver Lime Works, depicted on the OS 1st and 2nd edition maps. The 1st edition shows a line of 3 lime kilns, with another further to the west. A fifth kiln appears to have been added to the north by the time of the 2nd edition map. To the west is the Tinniver quarry (NJ33NW0097), the original source of limestone for the works, although this quarry is depicted as disused on the 2nd edition map, and had been replaced by another quarry (also named Tininver quarry - NJ34SW0097) to the north of the works. In 1970s two limekilns dating from the early 19th century remained. These were two large single draw kilns on an L-plan with the segmental arched draw holes in the angle of the left kiln, rubble built. These kilns had been largely demolished by the mid 1990s. Modern dwellings occupy part of the site of the works. The quarry has been infilled and the site occupied by modern housing.
