Geocache Description:


Lime kilns were built on the meadow and the finished lime was taken by barges to the River Bure and via the Broads to all parts of Norfolk. Some reached Gt Yarmouth where it was used to make bricks. This type of work was of great benefit as it gave help to the many unemployed villagers who were no longer able to work in the 7 breweries in the village - so many had closed.

The result of all these excavations is today's Lime Pits site where the tunnels can still be found although the entrance is blocked and all is covered in ivy.

The tunnels go across the Red Land at the back of Patteson Lodge and across to the Railway Tavern on the North Walsham Road. This pub now has a concave area around the tunnel exits which forms a nice amphitheatre for bands and singing.
