Lime kilns at Singleton Birch Ltd
A view of the lime kilns at Singleton Birch Ltd taken from New Barnetby village.  The yellow flowers just in front of the railway line are mainly Ragwort.  Singleton Birch Ltd are a quarrying company and are the largest employers in the area.  What appears to be smoke emitting from the kiln chimneys is in fact steam that is created during the process of burning the chalk stone to make lime.  This steam is clean and dust free and does no harm to the atmosphere.
