Description: | Blackpasture Quarry, [Northumberland], [England] unknown Building sample. Recent label says 'sandstone Galashiels' - but this may well simply be inferred from the location of the company, as there appears to be no calciferous sandstone which one could quarry near Galashiels, but there IS a Blackpasture Quarry in Northumberland. Old attached label states: 'Dr. BRUCE, in his "Handbook to the Roman Wall", says:- "The stone is a close-grained sandstone, and may be obtained in blocks of any size.... The storms of centuries have little or no effect upon it."
