Stone slate

Is this the same as Collyweston stone slate? Eric Corbett 13:47, 28 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm no expert in the matter, but I think this link is too narrow. From what I have deduced in writing the lists, etc., the term stone-slate applies to any rock that can be split into fairly flat pieces to make them suitable for roofing, as distinct from real slate, the metamorphic rock found for example in North Wales and the Lake District. A very high proportion of buildings in the eastern parts of Cheshire and Lancashire are roofed in stone-slate, no doubt because suitable material is found locally. Possibly the best known is the stone from Kerridge near Bollington in Cheshire. Listed buildings in Bollington shows how many listed buildings in the parish are roofed specifically in this material. There are still active quarries in the village producing stone-slate, see here and here. It would appear to be a generic rather than a specific term, as the Kerridge stone is sandstone and, according to the WP article, the Colyweston stone is limestone. --Peter I.
