Lime Kilns
To the east of Beadnell harbour are 3 lime kilns, the earliest of which was built in 1789. Limestone was burnt in lime kilns to make quicklime, which was used as a fertilizer and in building mortar. Much of the lime produced was transported by ship for use in Scotland. By 1822 the kiln had fallen out of use for producing quicklime, and instead used for curing herring.[1] Today they are used by local fishermen to store lobster pots. The lime kilns are Grade II listed and a distinctive landmark in Beadnell.
