The East Buxton Lime Works was opened in 1880 adjacent to the Midland Railway west of Millers Dale Station. The two kilns were cut into the solid rock and it was only in the 1920's that the concrete buttresses were added. The kilns were served by a narrow gauge tramway from the adjacent quarry. Production ended here in 1944.
