Granite Quarrymen's Huts, 1857. Creator: Unknown
Granite Quarrymen's Huts, 1857. Accommodation for stone-workers in Scotland. One of the vast natural depots is the granite quarries at Rubislaw (pronounced Robsley), within a mile of Aberdeen, which is mostly built of it, and is hence called "the Granite City". The huts represented...are such as are used by the workmen, and in wet weather are turned down...Besides these there are more substantial buildings in the quarries for the accommodation of the hands employed...There are, perhaps, about 80 to 100 men at each of the quarries, some quarriers getting, perhaps, 15s. on an average per week; others more; and there are curb and causeway stone dressers working by the piece who make sometimes 22s. per week'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
