Rand & Asquith operate from 3 york stone quarries in West Yorkshire.
Lower Edge Quarry is the last working quarry in the immediate area and has been mined since the middle ages. Fly Flatts quarry traditionally produced course grained sandstone but since 50,000 tonnes of crushed stone were removed it has exposed fine grained beds ensuring a supply of high quality building stone for many years to come. Hunters Hill though close to Fly Flatts produces a much darker stone in thinner strata. Modern techniques are used to extract the natural yorkshire stone without utilising explosives and with minimal impact on the environment.
Rand & Asquith have yorkshire stone reserves for the foreseeable future and clients are reassured to know they will always be able to add to their projects even many years’ later.
Rand & Asquith quarries produce both sandstone and gritstone. The naturally occurring colours in these materials have been used in a wide array of building, construction and landscaping applications around the world for many years.
Yorkstone is a blanket term for a variety of Sandstones, specifically from Yorkshire stone quarries. Its colours and makeup differs depending on the minerals it is formed from and the quarries where it was mined. It has a proven track record of durability, longevity and strength.
Gritstone is course grained sandstone originally used for milling but has been repurposed into a stone that is suitable for all aspects of building and landscaping with its rich vibrant colours and natural beauty.
