Limeacres (C 11)

Name: Limeacres

“Evaporating gravestones” near Daniëlskuil was the first clue to the rich limestone deposits found at what was to become the mining village of Lime Acres.
Geologist Digby Roberts heard these and other stories about businessmen who had been disappointed to find that the stone they quarried developed brown stains when exposed to the air. What they suspected to be poor quality dolomite, Roberts recognized as primary limestone.

Having been given instructions by his employer, Corner House, to locate new sources of limestone, Roberts investigated.
