| Kelhead Lime Works & Quarry, Annan, was established by the 1820s. By the end of the 19th century there was a bank of four draw kilns from whence the lime was taken down to the main line railway on what was described as a wagon way. Ownership was with the Kelhead Lime Co until 1922 and then the Kelhead Lime & Coal Co Ltd. The works closed in 1925 and the quarries are now flooded. Of the bank of kilns, only the base and draw arch of the southernmost kiln survives. | |
