Beadnell limekilns
In November 1798 it was agreed that Richard Pringle should build a limekiln measuring 24ft.in height,on the pier at Beadnell, which should have a pot 16 ft. in diameter at the top and 9ft. in diameter at the bottom. John Wood, from whose estate the coal and limestone were extracted, would complete the harbour there and maintain it in good repair.
The kiln was expected to produce at least a thousand cartloads of lime each year, to be exported by sea to other ports in England and Scotland.The lime sold well so that John Wood built a second and third kiln on the site.The coal and limestone were brought to the top of the kiln on a tramway
Today the kilns are in good order and in the care of the National Trust.
