Footnote 1: The term ‘irregular’ indicates that the individual cobble stones are not ‘dressed’ in any way and that the laying gang members take the selected raw broken cobbles and choose a good face to be laid uppermost. This is in contrast to some other forms of cobble stone paving where the individual stones are shaped on most faces to form a cubic shape before laying.
