Lime Kiln Wood, North Yorkshire

Bridge in the woods - an industrial past?

Uploader's Comments

The path between Sicklinghall and Wood Hall crosses a tiny stream as it enters the extensive woodland near the latter. However, between the photography position and the bridge is an area that appears to have been artificially hollowed out and the photography position itself is on an elevated causeway which suggests it may have been some sort of small dam. The bridge is exceptionally wide for what is otherwise a fairly narrow lane and one is led to speculate on some possible long gone industrial activity in this area. The woods behind are called Lime Kiln Wood on the two and a half inch map which may give some indication, but internet trawls reveal nothing.
