Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox company Amalgamated Roadstone Corporation (ARC) was a British stone quarrying company.

History

Amalgamated Roadstone Corporation Ltd. was formed on 23 April 1935 to acquire six quarry companies in Britain. These were Betty and Tom Ltd, Carreg-y-Liam Quarries Ltd, National Road Materials Ltd, National Roadstone Ltd, Port Nant Quarries Ltd, and Roads Reconstruction (1934) Ltd.[1]

In 1947 ARC acquired the majority of the shares of the British Quarrying Co Ltd (BQC) and its associated quarries. By 1958 the company owned 58 quarries.[2]

The company was acquired by Hanson plc as part of its acquisition of Consolidated Gold Fields in 1989.[3]
