interesting place, historical layer / disappeared object
Silted up former industrial harbour. Coal was imported across the Bristol Channel from South Wales and used to burn local local limestone in kilns on the harbourside. The lime was used for fertiliser and in building. An inn and several houses once stood here. The harbour wall can be seen buried in the beach.
Remains of the lime kilns can be seen if you walk into the strip of woodland but go in good light and take care as there are holes down into 2 kilns.
