Geocache Description:

I didn't know cows could write
Beware the "Urtica dioica"

Hanging on

Chalk taken from the pasture was used for the foundation of Beverley’s streets and for making lime. The Corporation obtained a regular income from leasing out lime kilns on the Westwood until 1812. Clay was used for brick making by local brick makers, the North Bar in Beverley town is built with Beverley made bricks.

The signs of this industry are still to be seen in the many hollows and pits that give the pasture its character.

Part of the land was once clay pits and the bricks produced from there were used to make many of the town’s buildings, including the North Bar. The Westwood was also a source of the lime and chalk made to create Beverley’s streets.
