The iron and steel industry needed lime, and the kilns were built here to allow lime to be shovelled directly into railway wagons.

SMARDALE 10B - Smardale Bridge
Smardale Bridge spanning Scandal Beck near Newbiggin on Lune in the Eden district of Cumbria and the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
Smardale Bridge was built in the 18th century on an ancient packhorse route, so popular that an inn was built here called the Scotch Ale House for drovers travelling south from Scotland to sell their produce. There is no evidence of the inn today, but had it possibly been on the rough ground on the far side of the track? An old sandstone quarry lies within the walled enclosure above the beck.
