Kerbs, to misquote Frank Sinatra, I’ve seen a few. Many years of construction site visits has provided sight of precast concrete, timber sleepers, in-situ concrete with formwork edge and limestone kerbs. I have seen brick edgings and even plywood. Rubble stonework has also been used. In Ironbridge, appropriately enough, I spotted a kerb made from a material that I had not seen used before – cast iron. I like the thin depth of the kerb profile and the toothed effect. It looks like it stands up to tyre wheel impact better than concrete. I like. I do like. |
