A project to celebrate the quarrying and stone working heritage of Rossendale. From the late 18th Century to the time of the First World War quarrying was a major industry in Rossendale, employing thousands of men.
Rossendale stone was exported in huge quantities throughout the UK and beyond.
The Valley of Stone project tells the story of this great industry, conserving remains, provides a programme of guided walks featuring Rossendale's stone working heritage and celebrates this heritage through a number of arts-based activities.
