The precise location of this lime kiln is unclear on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey plan. It is not shown on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan, but an ‘Old Quarry’ is marked which may have been the disused workings around the kiln.
SITEASS
Lime kiln - stone or brick structure for calcining brooken limestone to make powdered quicklime for agricultural, construction and industrial uses. Limestone was broken up and fed into the top of the kiln onto a charcoal fire. After burning, the powdered lime was raked out through an opening at the front of the kiln. By the early C20 bulk production using machinery for crushing the stone and burning it in Hoffman kilns saw the demise of lime kilns (William Jones, 1996, Dictionary of Industrial Archaeology, AB Searle, 1935, Limestone and its products, R. Williams, 1990, Lime kilns and limeburning, Shire Publications).

Lime Kiln, location unclear on the 1st edition OS mapping, probably lay within a 200m radius of the grid reference. It is not shown on 2nd edition OS mapping, which does mark an Old Quarry near this point and which may have been the disused workings around the kiln.

The northern section of this wagonway is not shown on the 2nd edition Ordnance Survey plan as the whole Biddick Branch was reopened in 1867 and its northern end remodelled (HER ref. 2550).

West Harton
Description
Harton Colliery. This was linked to a railway (HER 2332) by a wagonway (HER 2395). Opened in 1844, closed 25 July 1969. Owners were (1850s) W. Blackett, N. Wood, Anderson and Philipson, later Harton and Hilda Coal Company, then Harton Coal Co, and from 1947 the National Coal Board. In July 1844 the Bensham seam was reached at a depth of 1290 feet - the greatest depth in the Tyne district at that time. The shaft was single, but divided into two by a timber brattice. Cast-iron tubbing was required due to a fault which extended to a length of 474 feet. Whellan, in 1894, reported that Harton was one of the deepest mines. In 1854 it was the scene of the famous pendulum experiments by Astromer Royal, Sir George Buddell Airey.
