Scope and Content
[Cresswell, Rev. Richard.] The tourist's and visitor's handbook of Sidmouth and its neighbourhood. London: Whittaker and Co., 1841. pp. 45-6. The quarries of limestone in the neighbourhood have been a source of profit to their owners for many centuries; they produce a good building stone, and where this is not found, the inferior stone is burnt into lime for agricultural and building purposes. [
] Lime is now burnt at Sidmouth, but more at Salcombe and at Knowle; the largest lime kilns, which produce a very superior article for building purposes, are situated in the chalk formation at Branscombe.[Text may be taken from a different source or edition than that listed as the source by Somers Cocks.]
