#limekiln — Public Fediverse posts

The limekiln at Boddin Point in Angus, a little north of Lunan Bay. Dating back to the 1700s, it is ever more undercut by the sea and seems inevitably destined for collapse. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/montrose/boddinpoint/index.html

Langcliffe Quarry and its Hoffman Kiln

Langcliffe Quarry was once a place of serious industry, producing lime from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. The remains of three types of kiln still stand here: the Triple Draw, the Hoffmann, and the Spencer. Together, they tell the story of how lime production lurched from the pre-industrial age into t ...

Remnants of an ancestral lime kiln. There is a collapsed pit in the background, and cedar trees are growing out of it. In the central area is a low vertical wall with a collapsed access hole, from which the slow-burning low-oxygen fire was fed. This kiln is beside a lake. I believe that limestone was quarried from a lake-side cliff, and dragged over the ice in the winter to the kiln. #Photography #Ontario #LimeKiln

Yesterday at #LimeKiln #StatePark on #SanJuanIsland. No whales, unfortunately, but a small pod of dolphins stopped by to frolic to our delight.

Home from a brief jaunt out into the wilds, with a cup of tea and a snack to test out a tiny alcohol hiking stove.

I really liked my kludged #Trangia safety valve and am so chuffed that it fits perfectly onto MSR fuel bottles.

Saw a ton of red-winged-blackbirds, and handful of bird watchers about. It was quiet on the greenbelt's #LimeKiln trail, in spite of a busy parking lot. Very pleasant indeed.

I have a theory:

My theory is that if I write #limeKiln #archaeology #history #19thcentury and hint that I might wanna see people's stuff, good things might happen.

Kind of like #postPuppies but with #industrialArchaeology

Will reciprocate with diaries: in 1894, they took the "see one, do one, teach one" approach with two new farm hands...

Picture of myself helping load a small #limekiln in Millstone Park, Hyllestad (Norway). Kiln and picture by geologist Per Storemyr who is a main collaborator for my PhD project. He runs a building conservation service called FABRICA and is a protagonist for interdisciplinary work that takes the knowledge of crafters seriously. The #quicklime, made from a white marble from Osterøy, was used as limewash for Fastings Minde, at the University of Bergen.
