A NEW book entitled "Umekilns and Limebuming Around the Valleys of Hodder and Loud" is available now.


" Written by Helen Wallbank and her


nnothef Frances Marginson for Slaidbum Village Archive, tfie book's aim is to record the ewdence that remains of limekilns and


limebuiTiing within the local area. It follows a tWo-year project to locate and


record the linniekilns throughout 15 parishes and covers nearly 200 sites.


The projert was funded by the Heritage


Lottery and co-ordinated by Sandra Silk of the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), details of which are on their website. This four-part project comprised the


limekilns in Bowland, ancient archaeology around Pendle and cheese making and the chair industry, both around Chipping. _ As the authors explain in the book's introducbon, all the sites were redundant.

and had been so for a great number of - ■ years. In some cases the stone had been recycled: many were collapsed in some way. Telltale features of depressions in the


banking, remains of a trackway or a few stones were sometimes all that were left, but very few sites could not be found at all. When the project was finished the


complete record was deposited with the Slaidbum Village Archive and a copy was sent to Peter lies, specialist advisor (archaeology) at Preston to update the Historic Environment Record (HER). An additional and unexpected part of the research was the first discovery of even older limekilns in the area, namely clamp kilns,, and the authors expect more of these to be identified as time progresses. The first one found was partially excavated


and the results are documenteci within the book.


The use of marl from marl pits for land


improvement was formerly widespread in parts of the area and this is also included. It was the source of lime for many farmers of past centuries, although they vvere probably unaware that lime was the reason it was beneficial.


Countless hours were spent at the • .


Lancashire Archives searching for surviving documentary evidence. Some was found; mostly for commercial and estate kilns. Much more remains elusive; perhaps it was never even recorded. Umebuming is.an almost forgotten industry and this book details its story within our area. The book is available frorri Slaidbum


Village Archive, The Heritage Centre, - 25 Church Street, Slaidbum, Central Stores and Riverbank Tearooms, both in Slaidbum. Puddleducks at Dunsop Bridge and Clitheroe Library also have copies. The


book is priced £8 plus £2'for package and posting.

What is vitally important is that people receive the 15 essential checks and .services.” These are:
