In England, the term cobblestone first appeared in the 15th Century when towns wanted to make trade routes and traveling from town to town more reliable and sturdier than the old dirt roads.

Actually, though, it was the Romans who first invented cobblestone streets.

Cobbled Streets in Britain

Cobbled streets are still much in evidence in the UK especially in the north of the country. Cobblestones were an advance from early dirt roads which were frequently rutted and the cobbles were usually set in sand to make the road surface permeable.

Traffic Calmers
Roads paved with setts are natural traffic calmers as cars produce more noise when passing over them and warn pedestrians of their advance.

The gaps between the stones also allow for the growth of moss, thus providing a more natural road surface and improved drainage.
