TROUGH OF BOWLAND - 01A - Grey Stone of Trough
The Grey Stone of Trough, Trough of Bowland in the Forest of Bowland AONB, Lancashire.
The Grey Stone of Trough at the top of the pass, marks the old pre-1974 county boundary between Lancashire and the West Riding of Yorkshire.
Here, at the head of the pass is the catchment divide between the River Wyre and River Hodder. Raindrops falling on one side of the divide will make a very different journey to the sea than raindrops falling on the other side.

TROUGH OF BOWLAND 12A - Sykes Limekiln
A well preserved limekiln beneath Bracken Hill Quarry, Sykes at the foot of the Trough of Bowland, Lancashire.
Limekilns, built from the 17th to 19th centuries, were furnaces designed for the burning of limestone. This burning process produces quicklime which was used as agricultural fertiliser and for the production of building mortar. Kilns are set into the side of low hills so that carts could deliver and easily drop limestone and firewood into them. To prevent the kilns themselves from burning, they had to be lined with sandstone. It was a gruelling and dangerous job with many fatalities.
