Another offering from the BBC - and another repeat! - this time on the
quarrying of stone at Portland.
This is #2 of 4
part 1 - where the stone comes from
part 2 - quarrying
part 3 - use
part 4 - future mining

That said, I failed to listen to/record the first one, which sounds as
though it's the most interesting one from my limited timeframe perspective -
did anyone else record it?
