The lime kiln and associated culvert located 50 metres north of Worsley Methodist Church is a scheduled ancient monument of industrial heritage significance in Lancashire. Dating to the post-medieval period, the structure represents evidence of local lime production, a widespread commercial activity across north-west England from the 17th century onwards. The kiln itself, together with its surviving culvert, demonstrates the practical engineering required for the calcination process and water management systems integral to lime-burning operations. Such monuments provide archaeological evidence of the region's industrial economy during a period of significant economic development.
