Cobbles. The endless Cobbles.

The concept of "Hidden Heritage" is pretty much all in the name, heritage that isn't normally noticed or seen. Occasionally it actually requires a fair amount of work to even get to it! One thing I have come across a lot during my photographic adventures has been cobble stones.  These little things we walk over every day and not even notice, actually are a really good example of hidden heritage. We may still have cobbled streets dotted randomly through cities, some taken care of and some not, but decades ago every single street was covered in cobbles. As urban developments grew and cities changes we slowly started covering up these old streets with tarmac and asphalt.  Especially on roads for cars, whereas it is still popular to use cobbles in some pedestrian areas (more so in Europe than the UK)

I bet most people don't notice that on old streets where the tarmac has broken and created 'pot-holes' cobbles are poking out and breathing life for the first time in years.  Hidden heritage!
