Join Revealing Oldknow's Legacy and the University of Salford as we dig at the site of Samuel Oldknow's Lime Kilns in Marple.

We're expecting to find evidence of the people and animals who worked and lived there, the buildings that were associated with the Lime Kilns, and the tramway which connected them with the Peak Forest Canal.
