Here's a copy of a post to the group I made earlier in the year.
Give them a ring first (it's only good manners), suggest you perhaps call in
on the way back. 'Cos at those prices you're gonna want to be piggy and get
as much as you can carry!!!!
Check out http://www.multimap.com and just enter their postcode and you'll
be able to print out a map!
Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Everybody, well when I say everybody I mean those of you in and
around the Northamptonshire area in the UK.
I have just come across a great source of carving stone!!!!!
They are:
Weldon Stone Enterprises
106 Kettering Road
Weldon
Nr Corby
Northants
NN17 1UE
01536 261545
Speak to Andrew, A very nice man, very patient and very helpful!
Said he didn't mind if I told all and sundry.
They are Stone Masons involved in restoration work etc.
Their off cut and spoils piles are a wonderful source of all kinds
of stone.
Picked up four very nice pieces!!!
Portland 12" x 9" x 7" @ 60lb
Ancaster Hard White 12" x 12" 6" @ 66lb
Ketton 16" x 8" x 6" @ 50lb
Bath Stone 11" x 10" x 9" @77lb
All four pieces for £10
Should keep me busy for a while!!
Hope this info is of some use.
Oh, by the way, don't go in your best shoes. Just a tad muddy,
and a pair of gloves might not be a bad idea!
All the best
Tony
