Notes
The stone has few natural flaws; very large block and cuts well with a general blade, making it a sound economical choice for stone producers. As the blocks are so large it is also available in a pure grey for all masonry and paving applications making this a very attractive sandstone

Suitability
Steps, paving, setts
Recent Use Samples
Mouselow has been used on many paving projects throughout the UK including Tesco Store, Higham Guildhall, London; Dickens Yard, Ealing; One New Bailey, Salford; The Corn Exchange, Manchester and some of the London Boroughs.
