| Summary: | Limekiln on the Maer. A lease was granted by Littleham Manor for this in 1761. It was rebuilt in 1790 and 1806, at which time a house was added. It stood at the top of the bank at the end of Madeira Walk, and at high water lighters with limestone could unload right below the kiln. When the docks were built in the late-19th century it became too expensive to import the stone and the kiln fell into disuse. A stone from this kiln is thought to have been placed on the roadside in Maer Road. |
