I thought that also. Was the pond actually a lime pit though? Or named limey because lime was brought near to it years ago.

I've just found this from Ravenscraig.

LIMESTONE
The limestone required for the blast furnaces and also by the basic oxygen steelmaking shop is transported by a special shuttle rail service from Colvilles' new limestone quarry at Shap, Westmorland.
