Saturday Pits: "where you went to dump stuff on Saturday"
One person I ran into had heard of it! There was a sign there until a few years ago, but the history of the Saturday Pits goes back a very long way - they are marked "Saturday Pits (Whiting Works)", behind Southfield Cottages, on the 1889 O.S. map. Also see: www.culturegrid.org.uk/static/showResource/3882187 "PRN 45523 Quarry pits... This area was used as a whiting works, where chalk would be washed and crushed to make whitewash for houses...This area was also used as a temporary market when the town markets were suspended because of plague in the mid-seventeenth century. " Not sure if in more recent times it was private i.e. if you paid to dump there. This was the entrance, near Kenwick Thorpe Farm. One thing's for certain: the name must have given the Council ideas: the Recycling facility in Louth no longer opens daily. Soon we shall be back to dumping stuff on Saturdays!

This area was used as a whiting works, where chalk would be washed and crushed to make whitewash for houses...This area was also used as a temporary market when the town markets were suspended because of plague in the mid-seventeenth century. " It was certainly in use as a whiting, or whitening, pit before and during WW2. In 1992 the former manager of the pit, Mr.Harold Wilson, was still living in the end cottage of the block of 4 near the entrance. During the last war a German bomber returning from a raid in the Midlands dropped a stick of incendiary bombs which hit some of the buildings in the quarry, as well as setting fire to a dismantled aircraft on the adjacent field, which was used as an airstrip (Wright's Aerodrome).

One thing's for certain: the name must have given the Council ideas: the Recycling facility in Louth no longer opens daily. Soon we may be back to dumping stuff on Saturdays!

Wright's Aerodrome, Kenwick Road, Louth 1936
This is the site of Fred Wright's Aerodrome in 1936. The quarry is at the top of the picture. The hangar was at bottom right and contained an Avro 504k biplane, 1919 vintage, G-ACRE, and a Flying Flea. The company was called Lincolnshire Flying Services and toured along the east coast giving joyrides at 2/6, 5/0 and 7/6 for aerobatics. The hangar is still in existence as a garage on the Lincoln Road at Welton.
