Former Briggs Quarry

The quiet homes around Kiln Lane sit within a very different chapter of Cott. This was one of Briggs & Co's limestone quarries, part of an industry that supplied stone and lime for a growing Perth. Later a council depot, the site has since become a residential neighbourhood. Its industrial story is best explored through the heritage record, with any visit kept to public streets and paths.

Historic-site reference pin in the former quarry/depot area around Kiln Lane (heritage address: 2B Nailsworth Street). This is not a public entrance or a kiln open to visitors. Stay on public streets and paths; the surrounding homes and gardens are private.

Heritage records date the Nailsworth Street operation to around 1892, when quarrying and lime burning were important local trades. Stone was cut for building, while limestone heated in kilns produced lime for construction. Briggs & Co operated several quarries and kilns in the district, so this pin marks one part of a larger story.

During the Depression, unemployed men worked under a relief scheme that included filling old local quarries. This site later housed the Town's works depot. After the depot moved, the land was redeveloped as the homes and streets around Kiln Lane.

The old heritage address is 2B Nailsworth Street. Read the history from the public street and respect the surrounding homes. No public access to historic quarry or kiln remains has been verified here.
