Outside the Queen's Hotel in Leeds city centre there is an entire street made of rubber cobbles.

This was to deaden the racket of the coaches and carts going to and from the railway station so as not to wake the guests.

They're still there.

I will get into Leeds soon and take some pics. Then I will try to post them.

This could result in my pissing off everybody on the site by asking stupid questions then being arrested as a hacker when the pics appear mysteriously on the Pentagon website or somewhere, but hey ho.

There are a few heaps of dumped cobbles to be found down near the Clyde in Cambuslang.
