A background to our locally sourced stone

At Bondgate Homes we take pride in using quality locally sourced materials for our properties including all our stone-built homes, which are built using sandstone sourced from Darney Quarry near Hexham, Northumberland.

This limekiln originally produced quicklime for spreading on fields around Beadnell to improve crops and pasture, as well as a potential supply of lime for building locally.

Lime burning is one of the oldest industrial technologies, important in both agriculture and traditional building. Limestone and coal were […]
