Saw this from the road many times, finally got the chance to go back and explore.
1909 - Buxton Lime Firm.
Inside there was very little, i liked how stark the outside was, especially due to the era in which it was built, but inside it just just cold and damp. Still, very well preserved given its age!
when i first saw this place i had no idea what it was for, i guessed military from the style of building. Apparently these were for the ancillary equipment and offices.
This made it very much more industrial though!!!
There were two tunnels, with eight kilns in total.
Plus if you walked up the track to the top of the giant A structures, you happened upon the giant empty husk of landscape where the open cast mine was.
