Since 1922 The Forest of Dean Stone Firms has
been quarrying and processing the unique Forest Blue /Grey and Grey/Green
Sandstones that are only available from the mineral reserves at the Barn
hill / Bixhead Quarry situated in the heart of the Forest of Dean .
With a pedigree that goes back some 150 years this fine grained pennant
sandstone has been proven through past use backed up by modern test data
to have a enviable reputation for durability and weathering.
Some notable examples such as Cardiff
Castle, Tintern Abbey, Gloucester, Avon mouth and Cardiff Docks just go
to prove that Barnhill Sandstone is suitable for all building, landscape
and domestic applications.
