Stoneworld Acquires Bath Stone Quarry – Connecting with Park Lane Mine

Stoneworld is delighted to announce the acquisition of the Park Lane Bathstone, a milestone that strengthens our role as one of the UK’s leading suppliers of natural stone. This expansion connects directly with our existing operations at Park Lane Mine, creating a strong link between two important sources of British stone.

The Bath Stone Quarry has been recognised for centuries as a source of some of the country’s most beautiful building materials. By bringing it under the Stoneworld name, alongside Park Lane Mine, we are securing the supply of high-quality stone for architects, landscapers, builders, and homeowners across the UK.

The Bath Stone Quarry is world-famous for producing honey-coloured Bath stone. Its warm tones and workable nature have defined much of the architecture in Bath and southern England. Iconic Georgian terraces, grand civic buildings, and historic churches all feature Bath stone, giving them their distinctive identity.

Today, Bath stone is equally valued in modern projects. Architects continue to specify it for cladding, staircases, and fireplaces, while homeowners use it to add character to interiors and gardens. For heritage restorations, sourcing from the original Bath Stone Quarry ensures accuracy and authenticity.

Park Lane Bathstone was first opened in the late 19th century and became known for producing high-quality Bath stone through underground extraction. The quarry operated for many decades, supplying stone for construction across the region, before closing in the mid-20th century.

After years of inactivity, Park Lane Bathstone was later reopened with modern machinery and improved access, allowing production to restart. Today, it remains an important site in the ongoing story of Bath stone, continuing a tradition of quarrying that spans more than a century.

Stoneworld operates Park Lane Bathstone, giving us direct access to quality British limestone at the source. By managing our own quarry, we can guarantee consistency, reliability, and supply for our customers — from large-scale architectural work through to bespoke garden designs.

Park Lane Bathstone is central to what Stoneworld does. It allows us to carefully select and process stone that meets the standards our clients expect, while also giving architects, landscapers, and builders confidence that the material they specify will be available when needed.

Having a direct supply from Park Lane Bathstone means everyone involved in building, design, or landscaping can place real trust in the material they choose. For homeowners, it offers the chance to bring natural stone with character and longevity into gardens, kitchens, terraces, and living spaces, knowing it will age gracefully over time. Architects and designers can specify stone with the reassurance of consistent colour, finish, and performance, which helps their creative ideas translate seamlessly from drawings to finished projects.

For landscapers and builders, a steady supply from the quarry means fewer delays and the confidence that stone will be available in the sizes and finishes required. This reliability keeps projects moving smoothly while ensuring that the end result reflects the authentic look and strength of true British limestone.

Whatever the scale — from small private renovations to large-scale commercial developments — Park Lane Quarry provides the foundation for work that is both visually striking and built to last. It’s a resource that supports creativity, enhances design, and secures quality for generations to come.

The reopening of Park Lane Quarry has not only marked an important step for the future of British stone, but it has also been recognised in the Gazette & Herald, the local newspaper for Corsham and the surrounding area. The article, written by Jason Hughes, highlighted the historic importance of the quarry and its return to active use, underlining just how significant this development is for both the local community and the wider construction industry.

Being mentioned in the Gazette & Herald reinforces the value of Park Lane Quarry as a trusted and sustainable source of Bath stone. It shows how the story of this site continues to resonate today — connecting heritage, local identity, and the ongoing demand for authentic British limestone.

With a rich history stretching back over a century, Park Lane Bathstone continues to play an important role in the story of British stone. Its revival and ongoing production have already been recognised in the Gazette & Herald, a reminder of how significant this quarry is both locally and nationally.

For homeowners, architects, designers, landscapers, and builders, the quarry provides something that is increasingly rare — reliable access to authentic British limestone with a heritage that speaks for itself. As demand for quality natural stone grows, Park Lane Quarry stands as a trusted source for projects of every scale, from heritage restoration to modern construction.
