Solva Season 4 Episode 5 Episode Summary
In this episode of “Villages by the Sea” on BBC Two, host Ben Robinson takes viewers to the charming village of Solva in Wales.
Solva is not just a pretty seaside village; it has a rich history connected to the production of quicklime in the 19th century. Ben explores the well-preserved lime kilns that played a significant role in this industry. Quicklime was a crucial ingredient in both agriculture and construction during that era.
The lime kilns in Solva were instrumental in making the soil in farmers’ fields more alkaline, which, in turn, boosted crop yields – a valuable contribution at a time when the nation’s population was on the rise. However, Ben also uncovers how this industry would have presented challenges for the local residents.
