| Caption: | Specimen of Peak Moor sandstone from Bolehill Quarry, Wingerworth, Derbyshire. |
| Description: | Sample of Peak Moor sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a cut surface with a pale greyish-buff colour. Peak Moor stone is used today as a replacement stone for decayed stone masonry in historic buildings in the Edinburgh New Town. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 22. James Craig's plan for the New Town of Edinburgh in 1766 has a simple appearance, and did not include any detailed designs for the rows of houses. The New Town plan has none of the classical grandeur of the Royal Cresent in Bath which had just been started at that time. It was based on the oldest of all town-plan patterns, the chequerboard or gridiron pattern. |
