Mining natural Portland stone in Coombefield quarry now fully underway
Portland Stone Firms, a supplier of the iconic British Portland Limestone located in Dorset on the world-famous Jurassic coastline, has established a new mine in its Coombefield Quarry.
With the mine having commenced initial operations in late 2020, a further 12 years of supply is available for the stone industry with over 450m3 of block stocks readily available.
Adorning some of the world’s best examples of masonry, the material is long synonymous with Architects and specifiers for prestigious projects such as Paternoster Square (adjacent to St Paul’s Cathedral in London) and is much sought after both domestically and abroad.
Coombefield Mine complements and strengthens the company’s existing operations in Perryfield Mine and further open cast quarrying in Broadcroft Quarry. Examples of which can be found on award-winning projects such as 60 Holborn Viaduct (London).
Coombefield Mine InternalThe addition of Coombefield Mine adds a further option to our stone range that provides the industry’s restoration teams with greater certainty when matching existing works and allows commercial/private projects to benefit from a wider aesthetic choice for finished masonry (a service also provided by Portland Stone Firms).
Paternoster Square and Column
Paternoster Square and Column
Recognised as one of the City of London’s most outstanding and prestigious landmarks.
Located in Paternoster Square in London, St Martin’s Court was a £5m project. Overall the large site was created to provide 130,000 sq ft for a mixture of office and retail spaces.
Portland Stone Firms provided its iconic Portland limestone for the cladding of 4 buildings. Over 1,230 m3 of limestone was needed to clad the Mason’s Yard building alone.
This project demonstrates the ability of our mine and quarries to produce the quantities of stone needed by large building projects.
Colonnade
The circular column walk through used our turned natural Portland stone which was capable of producing the large sizes required for the project. Each turned piece displays the typical fossil shelling of Portland that is expected.
The Column
We provided and worked the stone for Paternoster Square Column. This is now recognised as one of the City of London’s most outstanding and prestigious landmarks
