There are Limestone quarrries on Portland Island, quarrying “Portland Stone”, which is a limestone. Many government buildings in London are built of Portland Stone, eg the British Museum, Treasury Building, Barts Hospital. There is a quarry in the Lake District at Shap which quarries “Shap Granite” for ornamental Purposes. So you could be born in a Portland Stone hospital ad be laid to rest under a Shap Granite headstone.
