Scar Limekiln, Kettlewell, North Yorkshire
This limekiln was built in the early 1800s. Lime was in demand for the production of mortar or as a fertiliser during the period 1750-1850. This example is built below the quarry where the limestone was dug out. It is one of the few surviving limekilns of the many hundreds built before the start of large-scale lime production on the edge of the Dales in the late 1800s.
