Intermittent action

Remains of an intermittent limekiln on the hillside below High Edge Raceway at Buxton. This formed part of a large and productive limeworks across this area. To the right is the mound of waste from the kiln and in the right background can be seen another kiln and waste mound. These kilns would have burned coal from the mines at nearby Axe Edge and operated in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
