What is recorded here

Cobbles in Freshford Lots lets you walk on proper local limestone flags. Put stone like that in your kitchen and guests would be asked to remove their shoes; here the whole parish has been trampling it since about 1900 without once complimenting the floor.

Section of limestone flagged paving, c.1900.
A section of paving representing an important, if often overlooked element of the built heritage of Freshford on account of the traditional construction in locally-sourced stone: the resulting footpath is thereby imbued with a picturesque quality often lacking in modern cement or concrete counterparts.
