About this Broadcast
Solva
Archaeologist Ben Robinson discovers the impressive lime kilns in Solva, this picturesque, 1800s Welsh port is famous for producing quicklime, a vital ingredient in both our agriculture and building industry. The kilns here are well preserved and contributed to making the soil in farmers' fields more alkaline - to increase crop yield at a time when the nation's population was growing
