gritstone

Etymology

grit + stone

noun

  1. A form of sedimentary rock, similar to sandstone but coarser.
    Adjacent to the roundhouse, but a little further north towards Curzon Street, are the surprising remains of the wagon turntables for the goods shed. Unusually, these are made out of solid gritstone so survive pretty much intact. April 8 2020, Paul Bigland, “Rail's future revealing railway's past”, in Rail, page 38
