THURSDAY, JUNE 10, 2004 THE NEW TANNER Work will start in June on Limehouse powder house $29,000 Trillium grant to aid restoration of Limehouse kilns A Trillium grant of $29,000 to the Limehouse Kiln Soci- ety will go towards the restoration of the powder house magazine in the his- toric Limehouse Kilns. "It's been a long road with many meetings," said Mary Shier, the Society president. The group has been working for five years to start restora- tion work on the kilns which were an integral part of the village of Limehouse in the mid-1850s. The lime kilns and the powder house are located in the Limehouse area portion of the Credit Valley Conser- vation Authority, The Bruce Trail runs through the area and remnants of the kilns are visible from the trail. The production of lime for making cement and mortar was one of the earliest indus- tries associated with the Niagara Escarpment. The Limehouse set kilns are be- lieved to date back to the 1840s. Dolostone from the adjacent quarry was fed into the kilns where it was roasted to release the lime. The Limehouse Kiln Soci- ety has hired experienced stone mason Gerry Inglis of Glen Williams to work on restoring the powder house magazine. He has already toured the area with a repre- sentative of the Credit Valley Authority and is expected to begin the restoration work this month.Mary Shier says the powder magazine was the most practical part of the kilns to restore. Although, like most stone ruins, people had removed blocks for their own use and the door has been replaced with an iron grill, the powder house maga- zine is consistent with the building uses in the 1800s. The Kiln Society is working along with the CVC and Halton Hills to restore the area. In its peak period during the 1880s, according to John McDonald's book, Halton Sketches, the lime works at Limehouse employed over 100 men on a three shift ba- sis and produced over 75,000 bushels of lime a year from the six kilns. The last burn- ing of the kilns was about 1915 and eventually all the works was shut down. The Limehouse Kiln Soci- ety's plan is to enhance the existing trail system to pro- vide more access to these historically significant kilns, develop interpretive signage to explain and illustrate the features of the lime industry, establish a system to provide brochures and other informa- tion of the area, and preserve and restore the powder house and lime kilns for future gen- erations to see. The public will be able to see what is planned for the historic area during the Town and Country Showcase on Saturday June 19, with a Walkabout at the Limehouse Kilns between noon and 2pm. The Kiln Society will also hold it's annual general meeting at the Limehouse Memorial Hall at 3 pm. John McDonald, a Limehouse native and author of two books on Halton Hills will be --_ conducting Limehouse tours at 12:15, 12:45 and 1:15pm.
