Hi
Does anybody know the name/type of the sandstone blocks in the attached photo ? I need to source some from somewhere.
Many thanks

Just sandstone blocks as far as I've ever known!

Reclamation yards are your best bet, but if you want new then Grinshill quarry is probably your best bet, they do white and red sandstone.

Grinshill stone quarry

Grinshill stone quarry Shropshire. Quality sandstone for restoration and new build.

Hi Feltwell
The ones I see around on the internet & reclamation yards seem to be the more rounded type, but I’ll try Grinshill.
many thanks

They'll cut and tool to whatever you want, but prepare the wallet for bashing!

I had 2 hinge blocks - basically big smooth sawn cubes of sandstone for partway up a gate pillar - from them. Not cheap.
