Oak Street, farrie50

Violet Street in A in M, very bumpy I'm afraid

Interestingly I do not know of any 'cobbled streets 'in Wigan or around the NW.
Wigan had sett paved streets, being quarried stone and shaped to size normally a cube,
Cobbles are natural rounded stones usually from river or coastal locations.
Having said all this I was born in a cobbled street in Wigan and always referred to it as such.

looked on street photos at "A" Court(squeeze belly entry) Ashton that was still cobbled in 2004

Edwin st or localy known as bull brew

Some streets will soon be cobbled again, as the road surface is wearing out in several places, exposing the cobbles below.

Cobbled roads might not be a bad idea, as it would make sure people stick to the 20 mph speed limits, which are currently totally ignored round here (Swinley area).

Field Street/Hey Street (off Frog Lane)

Top half of Windermere St in Whelley,hidden under a layer of asphalt

our street is cobbled underneath but covered with a layer of ashphalt

Half of Violet Street, in Ashton, is cobbled.
There's still a few cobbled roads in the Bolton area. Especially around Halliwell.
