PISTYLL LIME WORKS, Llandybie, Carmarthenshire 2020
Notes on PISTYLL LIME WORKS, Llandybie, Carmarthenshire 2020
Uncertain what I would find and only half-hearted if anything much at all, I was quietly surprised how much remains at this old industrial site. The tall red brick tower although not viewable from the road, stands very tall (20 metres) and just behind that what I first thought was a railway tunnel was actually the limekilns themselves. The so-called tunnel was actually a bridge-like structure which housed the lime kilns and allowed access to the quarry fifty yards behind. The quarry is now a lake and covered in Bulrush reeds and was a pretty site after walking from the dark limekilns.
