Description

  
Source Number  

1 Limeworks are shown opposite the Cuttle on the 1834 map. These were no longer shown in 1899, but the tramroad is shown (PRN 5234). White's Directory of 1874 refers to Tatham Kay's blue lias works and Charles Witherington's yellow limestone quarry. The former is clearly the existing Southam works. Charles Witherington was a coal merchant at the Cuttle, and presumably also owned the Cuttle Lime Works, so they were still in existence at this time.
