Watton Limekilns, Monmouthshire-Brecon Canal, Brecon 23 August 2017
Artist's impression of the limekilns at Watton in the 1850s.
The first four limekilns at Watton are known to have existed in 1802/7 and subsequently more were added over the years. They were at their heyday in the 1830s. Until recent years they had become overgrown and decayed, but a two year restoration programme has just finished. The top run of the kilns was at canal level in order for limestone and coal to be unloaded at the wharf, piled, then loaded into the kilns from the top. A lane was built behind them in order for the burnt lime to be packed into barrels and loaded on to carts.
