Bell limekiln was built in the 1860s and was used until 1918. It retains the lime shed in front of the kiln to keep the product dry. In recent years it has seen significant restoration and the top now houses an observatory. It is grade II listed.

The facade of the Mercers Hall in London dates from 1670 to the design of Sir Christopher Wren. In 1882 it was shipped to Swanage in Dorset where it was re-erected on the Town Hall.

Grove Limekiln

tarboat has posted:

The kiln at Grove was built c.1900 within an enclosed yard which was principally used for dressing stone. It was constructed and operated by prisoners from the Portland Convict Establishment. It is likely that lime production at the kiln ceased in 1921 when prison became a Borstal Institution and the quarry and associated masonry works closed.

This limekiln is one of several that were worked in the Dorset parish of Loders. Long abandoned, it was difficult to photograph due to a large tree having fallen across the front of the kiln. The pot has been filled-in.
