Collyweston stone slate

Collyweston stone slate

Collyweston stone slate is a traditional roofing material found in England.[1]

It is not a proper slate but a limestone found in narrow beds. The slates are quarried near the village of Collyweston in Northamptonshire, near Stamford and close to the borders of Lincolnshire and Rutland. It is considerably heavier than slate.
