Amberley Museum

We left Abingworth after  breakfast and drove the  few miles back to Amberley. Here there is a splendid outdoor museum based in  a former chalk quarry and limeworks. My blip shows the kilns used for heating  the chalk to make quicklime (calcium oxide) which was then slaked with water to make lime products such as  mortar for building purposes.  There used to be a standard gauge railway serving the works too, which can be seen in the photo. However, now there is a narrow -gauge railway and historic buses plus rural crafts and communications displays. 
All very interesting and worth  another visit.
Then we continued  home, in time for me to pop in to see my  Mother on her 92nd birthday. The Care Home had been making it  a special  day with cards, present and cake, and she 'd been on a minibus trip to the cafe at Hilliers Gardens.
