Memorandum submitted by Shropshire County
Council
1. Shropshire County Council's Countryside
Service has been working in partnership with British Waterways
on the conservation and restoration of the historic Llanymynech
Limeworks Heritage Project. The Llanymynech Limeworks is a site
of national significance, demonstrating what is essentially a
production line for the manufacture of Lime starting from the
quarry, down the incline planes, through the kilns and then to
the railway and canal for transportation links.
2. The Llanymynech Limeworks Heritage Project,
through partnership working, has secured major investment into
the area and aims to increase visitors to the site, providing
an attraction for tourist that will add benefit to the local rural
economy. British Waterways has provided advice and funding support
to develop this project and has, and continues to work along side
all the partners to engage and support local community interest
in the project.
