Type and Period
Description
The limeworks are identified on the 3rd edition OS map located between the maltings (EHER 40657), off Hall Road, and so must date from before around 1922. However, there are buildings depicted on earlier maps in the same place as the limekilns, whether these were associated with the nearby saltworks and later maltings is unclear but they date from before 1873. A sale catalogue of 1938 (ERO D/DCf/B890) mentions the lime works along with the other businesses at ‘The Wharf’ and so presumably they were still active until this time. Lime Terrace has been the name of a row of houses in this area since the 1930s. <1>
