Contrast this with Portland in Dorset England. Lots of London buildings used Portland stone which has a beautiful white colouring. Unfortunately for the quarry-men/women, lots were convicts who spent 5 years hard labour digging stone before being shipped off to Botany Bay.
I'll be revisiting this weekend, will add some pics, far less dramatic than yours!

Hi again
Went to Portland today; my it's changed since last visit 34 years ago and mainly due to Weymouth and surrounding areas receiving funds from the 2012 Olympics. Weymouth is where the sailing and other water sports took place. The views from Portland looking out over the bay and Chesil Beach are breathtaking and on a day like today with summer sun and clear sky's it was lovely.
I need a techie to tell me how to add some photos....
