Description: | This image, looking North East, is of a limestone quarry on the West side of Wren's Nest Hill. In the middle distance (near the horse) are the lime kilns. The winding shaft appears to be wooden with wooden steps so that it can be climbed for maintenance. It appears to be too small to carry people below in cages, which suggests that it may have been used for lighter loads such as equipment or limestone. The tubs on wheels look like they can be removed from the wheels, as there appears to be a tub on its side (centre left). Only one of the other tubs appears to be loaded with limestone. Note also that horses are still being used at this time. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Dudley Archives | Rights holder: | Dudley Archives | Subjects: | Limestone industry | Temporal: | Jul 1921 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
