Moving on: Stone cottage with Coronation Street’s cobbles and Moon-quoins

THIS ivy-covered cottage near Mooncoin village in Kilkenny is unique not only because of its 19th, century prettiness, but because it has genuine Coronation Street cobbles.

The owner, who is involved in the salvage business, has paved the front driveway with limestone cobbles which came from the set of the TV series. Apparently the clatter of feet on real cobbles created problems for the sound crew so they replaced them with plastic ones.

During renovations to the cottage five years ago, the owner made extensive use of salvaged materials including the Corrie cobbles.
