The fisheye effect
| |
|
|
Looking straight up the pot of the old limekiln at Foss, near Millbrook in Cornwall. Many of the Cornish kilns have straight sides to the pot rather than the bellying out of the middle section seen in northern kilns.
A lack of maintenance

|
|
|
This large Nissen hut at Penhale near Millbrook in Cornwall is not long for this world after many years of neglect. In spite of this it is still used by the farmer who owns it.
Milltown kiln
| |
|
|
This limekiln on the banks of the tidal Fowey was built c1790 and was initially operated by William Veale of Tywardreath. By 1798 it was with John Littleton and James Hoblyn of Lanlivery. In 1809 it was offered to let once again. It has probably seen little use for two hundred years and is quietly decaying in the woods by the river.
Sandplace

A pair of kilns roadside close the route of the Liskeard to Looe Canal. These may be the kilns that last worked in 1903 when in the ownership of Messrs Bishop and Peters.
St Keyne limekiln
| |
|
|
|
The limekiln at St Keyne on the Looe River was in use by 1833 and survived into the early 20th century. It is now very decayed with the pot demolished although the loading ramp remains intact.
Lamorna Cove
| |
|
|
|
The limekiln at Lamorna Cove, on the south-western tip of Cornwall, was constructed in 1854. It was used to burn lime for construction of a pier to ship granite from the local quarry. Whilst the kiln has survived it is now largely hidden behind a boat shed and under the patio of the local cafe.

The decline of china clay
| |
|
|
These china clay dries at Par Harbour have been closed for some years and this reflects the continuing decline of the clay industry in the UK.
Kelly Road, Calstock
| |
|
|
A single limekiln in fairly good condition with two draw tunnels to a somewhat unusual layout.
St John's Ford limekiln
| |
|
In 1840 this two pot kiln close to the inlet known as St John's Lake was being worked by John Wheeler and William Flaman. It is possible that there was an earlier kiln adjacent to the nearby house.
Polychromatic

An unusual combination of coloured bricks over shops on Market Jew Street, Penzance. The combination of cream brick with brown and green glazed detailing around the windows is certainly eyecatching.

Memories of former shop use on this building in Truro. With the cream brick and red terracotta it was certainly eyecatching.
Showroom
| |
|
The town gasworks at Hayle was built in 1888 and the last relic is the former showrooms which still proudly advertises its former ownership in a mosaic over the door.
