Stamford Stone is now extracting block stone from its Clipsham Bidwells Quarry in Lincolnshire, England, formerly known as the Davenport Handley Quarry or Bullimores Quarry. 

“It has taken us several years since we acquired the quarry in 2018 to process the quarrying applications which had been ongoing for three to four years with the previous owner,” explained Dan Wilson, director of Stamford Stone. “We’ve already removed the overburden at the site and are now beginning to excavate some exceptional masonry stone. We received the go-ahead to create a 41-acre extension to the quarry, which will access reserves of 500,000 tons of masonry block stone, which we will extract over the next 12 years.
