Brockram

Brockram is a type of rock found in northern England. It is a basal breccia of cemented limestone and sandstone fragments dating from the Permian period.

Brockram has been used as a building material in Kirkby Stephen and the rest of the Vale of Eden where it has also been quarried for lime burning.
