0 omkilrrs at limehouse arouse interest in limemaking method an article of particular interest in this area was published in the january issue of the toronto bruce trail clubs newsletter titled things to see on and around the trail it was writ ten by jim and olive byers the article follows perhaps as you have been mak ing your way towards a section of the trail in the georgetown area you have passed through the quiet 4ittle village of limehouse now a small rural community ot about 250 people you may have noticed the village store the little church and the new school sit uated at the west end of the vil lage but did you know that at one time this was a thriving commun ity providing work for hundreds of hard working settlers around the middle of the last century the grand trunk cnir line was pushed through and within a short time the village had three hotels three stores two quar ries several big mills woollen paint lime grinding etc plus the lime industry from which the settlement derives itsname homes improved the first use settlers had for lime was in the rough and quick ly constructed chimneys in their wooden homes as conditions im proved so did the homes mor tar and plaster became valued commodities much in demand the industry grew at a fast rate and two types of lime kilns were in use good examples ol both types can still be seen in the village to day the set kiln is the older type a short squat looking struct ure wood was placed in the kiln and limestone piled on top to a height of six feet the cooking process took five to six days with wood being continually fed through the fire hole finally the fire vasallowcd to die out and after a cooling off period the lime was removed more efficient the draw kiln was a tall struct ure and much more efficient than the one we just described the stacking of the wood and lime stone was basically the same but a grating was added between the wood and stone cooking took approximately three days and once this initial period had el apsed lime could be drawn off every six hours rock could be added contin ually at the top of the kiln with wood being fed to the fire below the grate the kiln could operate for lpng periods ol time shut down only being necessary for the job of relining with new fire brick st xi lm h arley to h alton by dr harry h arley mp since the conclusion of the throne

oxide or quicklime in order toset and bind the sand together into a mortar this con version is accomplished by driv ing the carboro dioxide from the limestone by heating it- in a kiln ol the type described in the preparation of a lime mortar the quicklime is thor oughly mixed with sand and wa ter and trowelled into place lor- ming the binder between the stones the calcium oxide or quicklime is converted immed iately to calcium hydroxide or slaked lime by the water soft mortar when the excess water evapor ates from the slaked lime sand mixture a relatively soft mortar is formed this mortar slowly hardens as the calcium hydroxide takes up carbon dioxide from the water and the air and is con verted back to calcium carbon ate or limstone complete con version of the mortar in a joinj mav
