Sandstone products | Bazel Minerals, Lancashire

Kept whole, or crushed and screened

Kept whole. Walling and building stone, rockery and landscape stone, boulders and large blocks. Picked by eye from the face and stockpiled by type.

Timber crates and pallets stacked with buff sandstone walling stone on a quarry floor, pieces flat-bedded and hand-stacked, soft light. — Walling stone is picked and stockpiled before anything is crushed.

Crushed and screened. Graded aggregates, sub-base and fill. Broken down in the crusher and sorted by the screens into sizes.

Low rear view along a compact tracked screener, one side conveyor rising diagonally and dropping sorted crushed sandstone onto a heap in the foreground, bright overcast sky and a wooded bank. — Screen · Crushed stone is sorted into sizes before it's stockpiled.

The range

Five groups, laid out the way a waller sorts stone along the line: the big whole pieces first, the crushed sizes after.

Walling and building stone

Stone for drystone walls, mortared garden walls, extensions and repairs.
