Chwar Pant-y-Rhiw limekiln
Recently I met up with two friends of mine, Anne and Sue, to visit some old quarry workings, friends who I first met through flickr back in the days when the site was more interactive than it is now.
I had decided not to take my tripod, the weather forecast was bright enough not to need it but took along my screw-on bean bag just in case. This soon came in useful as I started to look at different shots in the area and when I came across this derelict lime kiln just had to photograph the inside.
The kiln itself isn't shown on the first two 6" OS maps of the area but is seen on the 1948 version so a build date between 1905 and 1948 is to be assumed, certainly bricks lying around would seem to suggest that period. Here's the interior of the kiln taken by resting the bean bag on a pile of rubble by the entrance, illumination is by natural light.
