Random information on the term “SETT”:
A sett, also known as a block, Belgian block or sampietrini, is a broadly rectangular quarried stone used in paving roads and walkways. Formerly in widespread use, particularly on steeper streets because setts provided horses’ hooves with better grip than a smooth surface, they are now encountered rather as decorative stone paving in landscape architecture. Setts are often wrongly referred to as “cobblestones”, although a sett is distinct from a cobblestone in that it is quarried or worked to a regular shape, whereas the latter is generally a small, naturally-rounded rock.Setts are usually made of granite.
Places paved with setts include many streets in Rome and elsewhere in Italy (where blocks are called sampietrini or bolognini), since the technique was first used by Romans.
In Aberdeen (Scotland), and much of Edinburgh’s Old Town and New Town, a large number of streets retain the original setts.
Silloth on Solway, the seaside town in Cumbria, still has the setts (originally laid in the 19th century) on Eden St and the seafront Criffel Street. Streets paved with setts feature in cycling competitions including the “Tour of Britain” which visited Silloth on Solway in 2015.
