A reminder of the lime industry
This sculpture and rail wagon stand beside the Llangollen Canal at Froncysyllte as a reminder of the local lime industry.
The nearby Froncysyllte kilns were supplied from the Pen-y-graig quarries to the south-west. Stone was brought down a 2ft gauge self-acting incline. The works was formerly worked by the Chirk Castle Lime & Stone Co Ltd and later by Harry Williams & Son. In 1958 the incline was closed and lifted and the quarries closed by 1965.
