Again I understand it all!" Anna said to herself, as soon as the carriage had started and swaying lightly, rumbled over the tiny
cobbles of the paved road, and again one impression followed rapidly upon another.
No more barricades of flagstones--no more assaulting his Majesty's troops with
cobbles. I cannot feel friendly toward my quondam fellow-American, Napoleon III., especially at this time,--[July, 1867.]--when in fancy I see his credulous victim, Maximilian, lying stark and stiff in Mexico, and his maniac widow watching eagerly from her French asylum for the form that will never come--but I do admire his nerve, his calm self-reliance, his shrewd good sense.
They sell 'em at auction, an' they're good for years an' years, only no good on the
cobbles any more."

I also remember thinking the
cobbles wouldn't be doing my stiletto heels much good!" Mary walked across the
cobbles, but when she looked back, they - and the old house - had vanished.

COBBLES 30-45 MILES Once through mile-30 the route drops down towards Coventry city centre, giving a nice welcome break from the previous ups and downs and meandering lanes.
It appears someone took a nasty tumble on the
cobbles by the canal towpath in Castlefield last week, suffering serious facial injuries.
The beautiful cobbled streets around the church of the Holy Rude, which dates back to 1129, have been repaired by the cheapest and most unsightly way possible with black tar poured over the
cobbles. That's before we get round to the littering which has reached epidemic proportions around the streets and roads of our area.
REPAIR work to Yarm's historic
cobbles has been branded an "insult to the heritage of the town".
