Description
Three of the four kilns shown on the Tithe map survive. (C Ryan- pers comm - written on card. ) <0>
Limekilns, now disused. 1797 on the Hordley to Weston section of the proposed Shrewsbury Branch of William Jessop's and Thomas Telford's Ellesmere Canal.
Roughly coursed limestone rubble mainly concealed by earth mound. 3 segmental-arched openings with red brick and engineering brick heads.
This section of canal opened in 1797 and a wharf, 4 lime-kilns, public house, stables, clerk's house and a weighing machine were built here. In the event the canal got no nearer Shrewsbury and the project was abandoned at this point. This section of canal was disused by 1917 when the banks burst at Dandyford a few miles to the north of Westonwharf.
Bridge Farmhouse is not included in this list <1>
The lime kilns lie immediately behind [the garden of Nos 2 and 3 Weston Wharf] approximately 6m in height - there are three arched entrances to the limekilns, some with connecting passages. Other buildings on the Land owned by [the owner of Nos 2 and 3 Weston Wharf] include a stable block, a small brick building associated with a weightbridge, and the house itself which was I belieive the public house. There is also an iron mooring post. <3>
