One pit each side of the country road along with a restored twin crucible limekiln in the Northern part. A good example of local medium scale limestone working close to the large modern quarries.



Two surface limestone workings operated by Robert Jones. The limestone was used to produce lime. When Jones died his sons took over the business which continued trading until around 1910-12
