    Tips

    February 3, 2021

    Lea Quarry was a limestone quarry and the disused tramway used to connect the quarries with the lime kilns. Lime is made by heating limestone, a relatively simple process that has been known and used for thousands of years.

    Lime quarries and kilns were much used in Britain and there are still numerous lime kilns embedded in the landscape, often alongside canals as boats were used to transport the lime.
