Historic Interest
The Limekiln takes its name from a feature of what was once an important local industry. Magnesian Limestone from the geological Permian Period, known locally as "Bulwell Limestone" had been burnt for lime since at least 1520, when the Borough of Nottingham records a payment to Bulwell lime burners (F. Hind 1946 / A.P. Nicholson). During the 19th century, seasonal agricultural harvesters from Ireland were noted for holding illicit cockfights in some of the derelict limekilns in the area (J. Granby / A.P. Nicholson 2007). the name was the result of a local competition. Topped out December 1991 (Industrial Notts, January 1992, p.22 (L64.3 Nottingham Local Studies Library cuttings box), and opened the same month (Evening Post, 19 December 1991). Bank’s, now Marstons. It was built of brick but has been rendered.
A large pub with a single space divided by levels, much used by families as a restaurant." (Elain Harwood / Historic England).
