Montcliffe Quarry

Our quarry at Montcliffe covers 64 acres near the town of Horwich, Greater Manchester.

Operational for over one hundred years, this quarry produces a gritstone (a well-cemented sandstone).

Montcliffe’s gritstone is worked using the traditional method of crushing and screening following blasting. This long-used technique helps Armstrongs’ professionals to produce aggregate materials of exceptional quality.

Montcliffe Quarry – Part of the Armstrongs Group
