  • Lime Kilns in Worcestershire
    Lime Kilns in Worcestershire Nils Wilkes Acknowledgements I first began this project in September 2012 having noticed a number of limekilns annotated on the Ordnance Survey County Series First Edition maps whilst carrying out another project for the Historic Environment Record department (HER). That there had been limekilns right across Worcestershire was not something I was aware of, particularly as the county is not regarded to be a limestone region. When I came to look for books or documents relating specifically to limeburning in Worcestershire, there were none, and this intrigued me. So, in short, this document is the result of my endeavours to gather together both documentary and physical evidence of a long forgotten industry in Worcestershire. In the course of this research I have received the help of many kind people. Firstly I wish to thank staff at the Historic Environmental Record department of the Archive and Archaeological Service for their patience and assistance in helping me develop the Limekiln Database, in particular Emma Hancox, Maggi Noke and Olly Russell. I am extremely grateful to Francesca Llewellyn for her information on Stourport and Astley; Simon Wilkinson for notes on Upton-upon-Severn; Gordon Sawyer for his enthusiasm in locating sites in Strensham; David Viner (Canal and Rivers Trust) in accessing records at Ellesmere Port; Bill Lambert (Worcester and Birmingham Canal Trust) for involving me with the Tardebigge Limekilns Project; Pat Hughes for her knowledge of the lime trade in Worcester and Valerie Goodbury

    Appendix 1 Wyre Forest District Council Planning Health and Environment Regeneration and Economic Prosperity Section Draft Rural Economic Strategy Scoping Paper 1. Introduction 1.1 In land use terms, Wyre Forest District is approximately 15% urban and 85% rural. 1.2 Whilst there are currently a number of strategies aimed at developing the urban areas of Kidderminster, Stourport-on-Severn and Bewdley, no strategy exists to address economic issues within district’s significant rural areas. 1.3 The District Council is leading on a proposal to develop a focussed strategy which aims to ensure that the economic needs of the rural areas/rural population can be addressed and met. 1.4 This Scoping Paper seeks to identify the key issues to enable such a strategy to be developed that will provide a “joined-up” approach to rural regeneration in the District. 1.5 This Paper therefore:- • gives a contextual framework of other relevant strategies • proposes a number of Aims and Objectives • sets out an initial SWOT analysis • identifies proposed consultees • sets out a proposed timetable and invites responses to specific questions relating to the above.
