Wakerley calciners
Calcining kilns at the Wakerley iron ore quarries, which were active only from 1916-21 as the ore proved to be of a lower quality than had been hoped. Wakerley quarry was owned by the Partington Iron & Steel Co, the ore going to its Irlam Steel Works in Manchester. Calcining at the quarry made the ore cheaper to transport.
