Lime Kilns from Pit Prop Wood, Moira
Signed, dated and tiled watercolour with pen and ink.
Based in North West Leicestershire, seven lime kilns were built in phases between 1804 and 1837 to burn limestone brought down from Ticknall and Breedon by tramway and canal, to turn it into quicklime. The kilns have been sensitively repaired and panels explain how quicklime was made and used to improve the soil quality for local farmers and to make mortar for building.
