The thicker sandstones generally form laterally impersistent beds and crags along the escarpment of the northern moors where they were quarried, locally, for freestone and ashlar. The most productive large quarries at Galley Hill, Aislaby, near Whitby were used in the construction of many domestic and civic buildings in, and around the town (e.g. [NAME]). High quality stone was exported from here for use in London (e.g. Covent Garden, [NAME] and London bridges). It was used in many churches in the area, including Guisborough Priory, in the construction of road and railway bridges, and railway stations as well as ‘pierstone’ at the harbours at Whitby, [NAME], Ramsgate and [NAME]. The stone is still worked at Aislaby. Used as flagstones in Rosedale. Stone from quaries at Fylingthorpe used in [NAME] Bay.

The most productive large quarries at Galley Hill, Aislaby, near Whitby were used in the construction of many domestic and civic buildings in, and around the town (e.g. [NAME]). High quality stone was exported from here for use in London (e.g. Covent Garden, [NAME] and London bridges). It was used in many churches in the area, including Guisborough Priory, in the construction of road and railway bridges, and railway stations as well as ‘pierstone’ at the harbours at Whitby, [NAME], Ramsgate and [NAME]. The stone is still worked at Aislaby. Used as flagstones in Rosedale. Stone from quaries at Fylingthorpe used in [NAME] Bay. Also used in early buidings at Rivaulx Abbey. | Widely available across the North York Moors (Upsall, Boltby, Thirlby, Goldsborough, Aislaby) and the Howardian Hills; it was used as a building stone in villages, farm buildings and walls, and for monumental sculpture over a wide area. Used for the major characteristic building of some villages such as [NAME], and for nearby Mount Grace Priory. Also used in early buildings at Rievaulx Abbey. |  | [NAME] | North York Moors National Park Authority | NorthYorkshire English Heritage Atlas Area | Fox-Strangways. C. 1892.

It is difficult to distinguish the Saltwick Formation sandstones from similar fluvio-deltaic sandstones higher in the Middle Jurassic succession, such as the Cloughton Formation and [NAME]. Generally, the Saltwick Formation sandstones including the 'Aislaby Stone' and 'Whitby Stone' and 'Bilsdale Stone' are coarser grained than the stratigraphically higher sandstones, although the Moor Grit Member ([NAME]) is an exception to this. | Generally a hard stone with strong surface 'casing'; may weather to softer stone and remval of exterior 'casing' where exposed to rain/water; examples of the latter can be seen at Mount Grace Priory. | Rievaulx Abbey | Widely available across the North York Moors (Upsall, Boltby, Thirlby, Goldsborough, Aislaby) and the Howardian Hills; it was used as a building stone in villages, farm buildings and walls, and for monumental sculpture over a wide area.
