Limekilns and Limeburning by Richard Willliams

Limekilns and Limeburning by Richard Willliams

Model Number: 9780747805960

£3.50 GBP
Shire Album 236

Disused limekilns in various degrees of dilapidation can be seen all over Britain. The best-known are probably those near harbours or coves but there are many on farmland, in disused quarries or beside inland waterways. Limeburning appears to have been practised in prehistoric times in the Middle East but the more extensive use of lime for mortar and as an agricultural manure may be attributed to the Romans. The author describes the development of limburning, the different types of limekilnn and siting considerations. The chemical process, the sources of raw materials and types of fuel are covered and the decline of the industry discussed.
