Monument record TQ 77 NW 36 - Post medieval lime kiln at Cliffe

Summary

A lime kiln at Cliffe, thought to date from the 19th century. Made from red bricks, apparently 'wasters' from a nearby brickfield which had provided a cheap building material. The kiln was out of use by 1900 and a local resident recalled that it was inhabited between 1900 and 1910! Also thought to have been used by the Home Guard as a bunker during the Second World War.
