Now you're all showing your age by reminiscing on the use of the stone
during the industrial period :-)
My thanks to all who responded, particularly Chris Stone, who actually
responded to the question on its use in the pre-industrial periods. I shall
pass the information on the Heim School - and I also must admit to wondering
what their interest is in its early use.
