Stancliffe are also supplying Stanton Moor walling stone worth £80,000 to the new Bradford South Police Station.

Quarried at the company\'s Dale View Quarry in Derbyshire, the Stanton Moor stone will be used to provide walling for the exterior of the £10million police station, due to be completed this year. The building is a five storey steel structure with a natural stone faÁade.
