Relaying the old East St Helens Street pavement

OIld Pavements
The 11 week project to repave East and West St Helen Streets has begun. The start point is outside Patisserie Pascal, and coincides with a few days of well deserved holiday for Pascal (vacances bien méritées).

It looks as if most of the existing paving stones are being relaid – which must be a good thing.

The irregular paving stones lower down the street will only fit back one way – if they do need doing.

Over time the pavement has gained a certain foot worn character that goes well with the historic street.

    thank goodness for that, the “new” paving in Ock Street and Sturt Street looks grubby and covered in chewing gum. When will they repair the broken slabs?
