Cobbled streets

[Less]

Why did they tarmac them?

I wonder the same, I would have thought to make travelling in cars easier, so why when they decided on traffic calming didn't they remove the Tarmac instead of putting ridiculously large humps on top?

That would have been too easy Less and wouldn't cost enough

I suspect not many people can put cobbles/setts down now. Its much easier to use tarmac when you have a water leak or need to install pipes cables etc. They have still not repaired the setts at the top of Rhyddings Street at the park gates. Probably trying to find old Bert who can still do it

I remember when Lime Road was done in setts, with perhaps half a dozen cars parked there!

Tarmac has no character and as for the number of cars!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I think the owner of the house behind Speedway Garage is going in for some kind of car-parking world record!)
