Stopped by to check out this cobbled entrance and kerbing we completed a couple of weeks ago. Great to see the sun shining and the surroundings starting to green up! Satisfying to see a finished project settling in nicely.

All supplied by Pennine paving.

Over the last couple of months, we’ve had the job of rebuilding The Grindon Limekiln near Butterton, which dates back to the early 19th century. (The kiln is at Butterton but called the grindon lime kiln)

The perimeter wall of the kiln, after standing for approximately 220 years with only a couple of repairs over time, was in need of some attention. We shored up the banks, propped the infill, and methodically dismantled it in sections before rebuilding it on a new footing. Once finished, it will include structural steelwork inside to support the inner kiln pot, as well as new brick built archways.

This design is fairly typical of limekilns from that period, which were used for the calcination of limestone to produce quicklime an essential component in construction and agriculture.

The limekiln is recognized for its historical significance and is listed as a Grade II building by Historic England. This designation highlights its importance as part of the region’s industrial heritage.

Old fashioned lime kilns operated by heating limestone (calcium carbonate) in a chamber until it decomposed into quicklime (calcium oxide) and carbon dioxide.

Layers of limestone and fuel (such as coal, wood) were placed inside the kiln, with fuel layers providing heat.

The kiln was lit, and the fuel burned to produce high temperatures (around 900–1000°C).
The heat caused a chemical reaction in the limestone, releasing carbon dioxide and leaving behind quicklime.

Once the process was complete, quicklime was removed from the bottom of the kiln.
This process often ran continuously, with fresh layers of limestone and fuel added at the top as quicklime was removed from below.

The project will be completed in the spring, settling nicely back into its surroundings and preserving its story for future generations to see for years to come.

Last week, we completed restoration work on this lovely field barn near Flash. The barn was beginning to show its age, which isn’t surprising given its location on a hillside at around 430m above sea level making it the highest project we’ve worked on so far. This building is full of character and history, having once been home to two families!

Despite the challenging access over wet ground, we used ground boards to protect the site and ensure access was possible for materials and equipment. We raked out and repointed the barn, fitted new doors, windows, and shutters, and left access to a newly installed barn owl box. The customer is hopeful it will soon become home to a pair of owls.

Another rewarding project, preserving the past for future generations!
