3745 | Rough Rock | 3744 |  | A coarse grey sandstone with clasts of variable size - clearly identifiable quartz( <2cm) and feldspars. Massively cross-bedded and characterised by wide variation of grain size indicating variation in environment of deposition with channel shifting. Weathers ochreous. Characterised by ironstone nodules locally known as heathens or red horses (arses). | GREY | Uniform | Weathers ochreous. Variation in weathered colour depending on constituent minerals - higher feldspar content giving a pink colour, otherwise cream to [NAME]. Weathers to [NAME] or [NAME], becoming black in urban areas affected by smoke pollution. Many buildings | ROUGH ROCK | CARBONIFEROUS | SANDSTONE | Coarse grained | Usually massive with some cross bedding and channel structures |  | A hard, generally resistant rock when fresh, difficult to cut by hand, often characterised by rock saw marks. 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.
