Dolomite Selected for New Houses of Parliament
An official inquiry on building stone for the new Houses of Parliament favors magnesian limestone or Dolomite from Bolsover Moor for durability, uniform structure and color. The report weighs stone varieties and notes sandstones and limestones have benefits too. It adds the bolstering case for Dolomite as the preferred material. The Cambridge Chronicle mentions a candidate nomination in September and polling the next day. The Marylebone Reformers’ brief notes conservative support for Mr. D Urquhart, a reformer hopeful, previously dismissed from Constantinople, aiming to contest Palmerston’s foreign policy.
