I had a wee wander round this a while ago - unfortunately all photo's taken on a lightweight digital camera and no tripod so the quality ain't great ...it's up near Giggleswick.

It was built in 1873 for the Craven Lime Company and had 22 individual burning chambers...

Anywho have a ganders....

A few externals...

The pictures don't capture just how big the tunnels are - they run in a circle all the way round - I fancy doing this again with some cool lighting if anyone is up for it?

Some nice photos there! Let me know if you are going back, I know its a bit of a haul for me but it would be good to meet some of you guys.
This reminds me of the Lime kiln we found at Norwich, alot of hard work was acheived many years ago>
