After months of hardwork and planning, Hutton Stone Co. Ltd is delighted to announce the re-opening of Hazeldean Quarry.
Hazeldean (also historically known as Crag Hill) has been re-opened by us this year. It is situated just outside the village of South Charlton, approximately 5 miles North of Alnwick in Northumberland. It was originally worked in the 1800's and is said to have been loaded onto trains at nearby Christon Bank and sent to Edinburgh to build the Waverly Hotel. Its main importance is its geological and visual match to the nationally famous Craigleith sandstone from Edinburgh.
The stone has two main beds and is white / cream, or cream / yellow in colour and is available now.
