| Caption: | Specimen of Milnrow (Kerridge) sandstone, Kerridge, Macclesfield, Cheshire. |
| Description: | Sample of Milnrow (Kerridge) sandstone from the building stone collection of the Edinburgh World Heritage Trust. The stone has a cut surface with a very pale greyish-buff colour. This specimen is of Carboniferous age. The fine-grained nature and pale greyish colour of this stone makes it suitable for using as a replacement sandstone in repair projects in the Edinburgh New Town. Edinburgh World Heritage Trust sample no. EWHT 82. If replacement masonry is not available from the original quarry a matched alternative should be selected on colour, texture, porosity, strength and durability, and the best petrographic match should be used. In selecting replacement masonry samples of the replacement material should always be compared with the original masonry and factors such as block size (bed height) should also be considered. Differences between the substitute stone and the original stone should be understood and they should be petrographically compatible. |
