EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photo print, captured by the talented photographer Dave MacLeod, showcases the disused Croglin limekiln and quarry in all its historic glory. Located near the picturesque village of Croglin in Cumbria, this limestone quarry once played a vital role in supplying materials for construction and agriculture. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the disused lime kiln, standing tall against a backdrop of lush greenery. Its weathered stone walls tell tales of a bygone era when it was bustling with activity. The intricate details and architectural beauty are evident even from above, reminding us of the craftsmanship that went into its creation. Surrounding the kiln is an expansive quarry that stretches as far as the eye can see. This vast expanse serves as a reminder of both human ingenuity and nature's ability to reclaim what was once taken from it. The remnants left behind offer glimpses into a time when workers toiled tirelessly to extract precious limestone from these very grounds. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, we cannot help but appreciate how history intertwines with our present landscape. This print captures not only an abandoned site but also preserves memories and stories waiting to be discovered by those who seek them out. It serves as a testament to our collective heritage and invites us to reflect on our relationship with both industry and nature throughout time.
