A wider view of Beadnell harbour , this time showing the lime kilns which date from ca. 1800 and were used to produce lime (used as a fertilizer) from crushed local limestone. Their use to produce lime was very short-lived and they were no longer used for this purpose much beyond 1820. They are now used for storage by local fishermen.
Beadnell harbour is a rarity: a west-facing harbour on an east-facing coast.
The people in the shot seem to be practising social distancing a few months ahead of time! Something I was about to mess up when I went and sat next to my bike!
