Abstract:		 Historic England (then English Heritage) designated the disused limekilns (centred at SD 7586 4342) at Bellmanpark Lime, Cement and Macadam Works, Clitheroe, Lancashire, as a scheduled monument in September 2004. The scheduling was in direct consequence of recommendations made by English Heritage's Monuments Protection Programme (MPP) Step reports on the Lime, Cement and Plaster Industries. The original scheduling description described the kilns as 'a rare example of a bank of railside lime kilns which provided access for railway wagons and still retain, surviving in situ, direct loading facilities from the kilns into the wagons'. The kilns were already disused and shrub-infested when scheduled, having reportedly been last fired in 1959. Since 2014, volunteers from the Clitheroe Civic Society have worked to clear much of the intervening half-century's invasive growth of trees and scrub with a view to opening the monument to public display. That action, however, highlighted the monument's deteriorating state of repair, leading to it being placed on the Heritage at Risk Register. This report summarises what is known of the history and operation of the kilns and of their structure and layout, and moves on to re-consider significance through a rapid literature and map review aimed at more accurately quantifying how common kiln banks of a similar design (ie built directly over railway spurs) once were in England, and how many examples still survive.
