Full description
A rectangular lime kiln, and a chalk raft, probably the base of a building, were constructed here in the early 17th century. In the 18th century two small brick cottages were built on the Railway Street frontage <1>. Three cottages, with outhouses in small rear yards, are shown here on the 1881 OS map <2>.
