| Abstract: |
The remains of nine limekilns survive at Barnby Basin, the former terminus of the Barnsley canal, near the village of Cawthorne. This article uses business records and other contemporary evidence to look at trade on the canal and the distribution of lime products for building and agricultural purposes along the turnpikes of the hinterland of Barnby to the south, east and north, especially to the Holmfirth area. The canal was completed to Barnby in 1802 and the kilns continued in use until the early 1870s, by which time the transportation in the area had been revolutionised by the development of railways. |
