Notes:
Commissioned by Bath & Portland Group from a former journalist and retired businessman. Mostly deals with the history of quarrying and use of building stone, its transport and shaping from early times. Deals especially with limestone from the Portland, Dorset, and Bath, Somerset areas. Covers very briefly the 'stone firms' out of which Bath & Portand Group was formed in two chapters. Includes relatively little about Bath & Portland Group.
