Nice to see cobbles properly described,Coronation St is erroneously described as “The Cobbles “.
Only streets in very old parts of towns would be cobbled,after towns expanded streets were setted.
Most surviving surfaces will be setts.
However they are noisy,bone shaking if not properly maintained,and so asphalted over. Rather a shame I feel.
Can you imagine the racket when cart horses traversed them hauling carts
heavily laden,especially when those carts had wooden wheels with iron tyres
But the sound of clogs in the early mornings clattering over York stone pavements and crossing granite setted streets is something I hope never to forget.
It is part of my heritage.
There is a book title there ,”The sound of clogs in the early morning ——+?
Can’t remember.
