Underground on a Sunny Day: Newmarket Road Lime Kiln

This lime kiln is on the site of one of Norwich's several former chalk mines, now an overgrown patch of woodland close to Newmarket Road. Although not terribly deep, it was nevertheless cold enough down there to be able to see one's breath, and this on a warm and clear day. The sheer abundance of green plant life crawling over the steps leading down to the kiln was possibly the most striking aspect.
