Wool Bay Lime Kiln is Heritage listed. Lime kilns were built to take advantage of the local limestone removed from paddocks by farmers. Charles Dry from Stansbury travelled to England to study the newest methods of lime processing in the early 20th century and on his return he built a large wood burning kiln on foreshore. It was however not a great success having problems with its draught. This kiln still stands today and is heritage listed.

A lime kiln is a kiln used to produce quicklime by the calcination of limestone (calcium carbonate). This reaction takes place at 900°C or up to 1000°C. Lime has been used in building for hundreds of years to aid the setting of mortar and plaster. It is also used in sewage treatment, for burial of bodies in open graves to aid in decomposition and in forensic science to reveal fingerprints.
