Those rubbery roads are rather lubberly.
I tried to buy a workbench today. I went to Ikea. On a Sunday.
At 13:00.
I must have been mad, the 20 acre car park was full and the road queue went twice around.

Does anyone know when this sort of pave road (on the left of the photo) was first introduced? I'm looking at 18th Century, but a more specific time would be appreciated - eg were they around in Marlborough's wars?

Wasn't it a Roman invention?

Yep, you’re good with pave from 0 BC onwards pretty much. There are distinct references in France from 12th C onwards so Marlborough should be fine.

Just failed to buy some vintage Minot Thane Tostig figures which went over my limit. I do like them lots though.
