Not generally affected by chemical weathering except where feldspathic, but industrial pollution causes it to weather black. Less resistant components affected by wind erosion - often affecting ornament on buildings cut from finer grained stone. | Poorest quality stone used for field walls and random rubble walls (often sides and rears of buildings). Ashlar and freestone used for fronts of buildings, plinths and quoins. 24 eight ton blocks used for foundations of Eiffel Tower. [NAME] grained, most uniform stone used for door and window lintels. More flaggy stone used for paving and floor flagstones and in some older buildings for roofing. Also used for millstones. | West Pennine Moors mainly above 300m - The area surrounding Winter Hill and the Rossendale valley including Horwich, Belmont, Darwen. Edgworth, Haslingden and Rawtenstall.
