Portland Stone, building stone
White - Limestone
Jordans is part of Inmosthay Quarry in the centre of the Island, which also includes Fancy Beach. It has been worked since the late 1800s. We lease the southern section from The Crown Estate and purchased the northern part of the site in 2006. The majority of the southern reserves lie under the grounds of the local cricket club. To avoid disturbing the site at surface level, we applied and received permission to extract the stone using mining rather than quarrying techniques.
