Empire, Earl Grey, The Saint and Austin Powers. Country gardens, pubs, punks and some of the greatest blues and rock musicians may come to mind when you conjure up ideas of England, but how many people know that England has incredible stone resources? Selling England by the Pound? Not exactly, but you can get some prime English real estate to go in the form of hard sandstones that can take a thermal (flame) treatment, limestones and the grand daddy of them all, a metamorphosed volcanic product that transcends traditional stone definitions and performance, some types of which are called 'Burlington Stone'.
