Here's the story:

What you see there is all that remains of an old lime works. Built in 1915 it was part of a larger complex including 2 silos, a quarry, some smaller buildings and the one in the photos above which is five stories high. In 1956 the entire complex was abandoned and in the 1980's everything apart from the building on the photos was demolished and removed. The quarry is still there too. Today the place is totally overgrown and in a very poor state. No trace remains of any of the other buildings or that it was ever an industrial site. And no historic photos of the place exist either.
