1. Title: Porthgain Lime Workings, Pembrokeshire, West Wales: A Historical Industrial Landscape 2.. This evocative photograph captures the Porthgain lime workings on the picturesque Pembrokeshire coastline in West Wales. Lime production was a significant industry in this region during the 19th and early 20th centuries, with limestone being transported from South Pembrokeshire to Porthgain for processing. The white powder produced from the burning of limestone was essential for farmers, who used it to make their land less acidic, enhancing its fertility. Lime was also employed extensively in construction, serving as a vital mortar and a popular whitewash for walls, contributing to the distinctive character of buildings in the area. The intriguing landscape in the photograph showcases the industrial process, with the chimney standing tall as a testament to the hard work and determination of those who labored here. The kilns, used for the manufacture and processing of lime, can be seen scattered throughout the site, their rustic appearance a reminder of the historical significance of this industry. The Porthgain lime workings represent an intriguing fusion of agriculture and industry, with farmers and workers collaborating to improve the productivity of the land and contribute to the region's economic growth. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Pembrokeshire and West Wales, inviting us to reflect on the past and appreciate the unique character of this coastal region.
