Allerston lime kilns is a group of historic industrial structures located in North Yorkshire. The kilns date from the post-medieval period and represent the local lime-burning industry that served agricultural and building purposes across the region. The site consists of the physical remains of lime kilns, which would have been used to calcinate limestone into quicklime, a product essential for mortar, plaster, and soil amendment. Such installations were characteristic features of the Yorkshire landscape from the 17th century onwards, reflecting the importance of lime production to rural and urban development in the period.
