General notes
The image shows the road from Clitheroe curving to meet the road junction that serv.es as the centre of the Hamlet of Cowark. It is below this bridge that the image ECL20140107001/269551 was taken. To the right is a lime kiln. These structures, introduced by the Romans, were once numerous but now much less seen, after the Industrial Revolution, especially the mass production of lime in the 19th Century. The kiln in the image currently survives (2022). They were used by communities to bake limestone - freely available in this part of Lancashire - to a temperature of c 900 degrees - to break it down to make fertiliser, whitewash, mortar and other essentials.
