This Yorkstone flagstone, with cast iron drain grille, is a striking reclaimed piece that brings history and character to any outdoor project. The flagstone measures 24 inches long, 25 inches wide, and 6 inches thick. Combined, the drain and stone weigh approximately 120kg, giving it real presence in a garden or paved space.
Cast iron drains, and Yorkstone flags, have been used for centuries in water management systems. It first gained popularity in the 18th century during the rise of industrial Britain. Its strength, resistance to corrosion, and long lifespan made it ideal for outdoor and civil engineering uses. As a result, even today, cast iron remains one of the most durable materials for drainage covers and grilles.
Both cast iron drain and Yorkstone flag show signs of age and wear. A surface crack and deep chip sit to one side in the stone. This damage does not affect function. Instead, it enhances the piece’s rustic look and historic feel. Weathering across both stone and drain grille adds to its visual appeal.
