This nice photograph with the mine in the background left the Archive asking for the date and details. Eric Johnson informed us: ”in the centre of the photograph, can be seen the calcining kilns and materials hoist. The three kilns were originally on the island of RAASAY in the Inner Hebrides; dismantled in about 1943 with each part carefully numbered and loaded into ships. One local man John Macleod was killed in the hold when the sling broke. The kilns were taken to Lingdale and re-erected shortly afterwards, this photograph is from about 1950.” Thanks to Eric for the information.
