Arguably the second most important feature of a dingy Victorian street is the cobbles! After taking a trip to Christchurch for some research I ordered 750 beads from China...
The rather vibrant beads made the perfect cobbles and even had a stony texture to them from the wood/cheap paint. After laying them out and giving the section of road a slight bow, I made a mould in silicone before casting multiple ones in fast cast (PU resin) and sticking them together. The results I feel are quite splendid.
