Question 24 Answer

The Blue Quarry is situated on the face of the hill behind Harplaw Farm located up Brisbane Glen Road. It got its name from the blue colour of the stone mined.

A number of houses in Gogo Street near the corner and entrance to Crawford Street were built with the quarry stone. They were known as the Blue Houses due to their blue colour. Most of these houses have been painted for have had rough cast added however one house still shows its original stone work and colour at the rear of the house. This can be seen from Crawford Street.
