BBC 'The Beach Live' visits Albion's mine
Dan Snow visited our Portland Stone mine earlier this month to film BBC's 'The Beach Live'.
On their visit to the Jurassic Coast they met with Mark Godden, our Mine Manager, and took a tour of the mine. They wanted to find out why Portland Stone has been used for historic buildings all over the world and how we remove the stone today.
It aired on Wednesday 18th July on BBC Four.
