Stone Quarry Road approaches from behind the camera. Its continuation around the bend is Lindhead Road. On the left is a lime kiln said to be one of ten in Burniston Parish. This kiln was restored in 1988 and further restoration was done about three years ago. The road going off to the right goes to Cloughton Quarries, however these produced good quality sandstone for building purposes, not limestone.
