The lime kiln could have produced calcium oxide, which could have been used to split the rock in nearby mines.

Although there is limestone nearby, there is no combustible material. All the trees have long gone. It would be easier to carry charcoal or wood on pack horses, which would return with refined lead.

Park in Hebden and walk north beside Hebden Beck.
