Receipt for burnt lime from the limekilns at Hardingswood adjacent to the Trent & Mersey Canal at Kidsgrove. Thomas Kinnersly was the founder of the Birchenwood Ironworks in 1833 and had inherited a range of industrial concerns, including a number of collieries,and the family bank at Newcastle-under-Lyne from his father Thomas senior. His limeworks supplied lime to farms and estates as far away as Eaton near Congleton. His three kilns were situated at Hardingswood, just below the top lock on the offside.
