Gypsum Sources - Midlands

[Cab-over Pete]

Aye up,

I don’t get involved in gypsum much. Some of the products can be iffy and some of the suppliers even more so I have found in the past.

I’ve been asked by a customer to try and source a good, clean product that will go through a lime spreader.

Any ideas for a product not far away?

Cheers, Pete.

There was some stored at Norton on the Pershore side of Worcester a couple of years back. I know nothing about it’s provenance, but my daughter knew a local lad who was hauling it out.

What is gypsum?
I know a local organic farmer uses it but you can’t get a lot of info out of him

There are quarries between Nottingham and Grantham, so should be available

Balderton near Newark is currently mining agricultural gypsum (British Gypsum, which is ironically part of Saint Gobain Group). But Mount Liming says they mainly use recycled (and get the paperwork sorted with the EA).

Any coal stations around that area?
