Nicolson pavement information


Wood block pavement

Nicolson pavement, alternatively spelled "Nicholson" and denominated wooden block pavement and wood block pavement, is a road surface material consisting of wooden blocks. Samuel Nicolson invented it in the mid-19th century.[1] Wooden block pavement has since become unfavored because of its poor surface quality and high cost of maintenance.
