Valley of Stone - (Rossendale Quarries & Tramways Heritage Project)
Supported by the Herritage Lottery Fund

A project to celebrate the quarrying and stone working heritage of Rossendale

From the late 18th Century to the time of the First World War quarrying was a major industry in Rossendale, employing thousands of men. Rossendale stone was exported in huge quantities throughout the UK and beyond.

The Valley of Stone project will create a web site telling the story of this great industry, conserve some remains, provide a programme of guided walks featuring Rossendale's stone working heritage and celebrate this heritage through a number of arts-based activities

The current web pages are a temporary measure whilst we develop a completely new and innovative site.
