Overview

History & significance

Bellmanpark lime kilns is a pair of stone-built lime kilns located near Bellman Farm in Lancashire, dating to the industrial period of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The kilns represent the local exploitation of limestone resources for agricultural and industrial purposes, a common practice in northern England during this era. Associated with the kilns is evidence of a tramway situated approximately 180 metres north-west of Bellman Farm, which would have facilitated the transport of lime and raw materials to and from the site. The survival of these structures provides material evidence of small-scale industrial lime production and the transport infrastructure that supported rural manufacturing in Lancashire.
