Notes about this historic site
1 By 1899 the limeworks had disappeared, but hachuring from Bascote Toll House to Gossamer Hill indicates the presence of a tramroad from quarries to the canal wharves. Part of the route of this tramroad can still be traced near the canal, and fence posts along the lane may have been wooden tramroad sleepers.
