Former limestone quarry off Wragby Road. Documentary sources of the mid-19th century name the site as Nelthorpe's Quarry, being owned by a William Tweed Nelthorpe, lime burner. Two lime kilns built on the site (see MLI85504) indicate that lime burning was being undertaken whilst the quarry was open. This activity was relatively short-lived, however, with both the quarry and lime kilns becoming disused by 1877. In the 1890s, a house called The Dell was built on the eastern edge of the quarry (see MLI126057), the lime kilns were infilled and the bank within which they stood landscaped as part of the associated garden. The lime kilns were partly exposed at the end of the 20th century but still remain largely buried. {1} Although not labelled, the quarry is depicted as extant and including 'lime kilns' on Dewhirst and Nichols 1839 map of Lincoln, indicating operation of the site was in progress by at least this date. The site is named as Nelthorpe's Quarry on Padley's maps of 1842, 1851 and 1868, although later maps (produced from 1883 and onwards) show the site to have ceased production. {2}
