Stonehenge is on a distinguished road
Kirk, I did catch your drift, but re-reading my post makes it sound like I didn't. I realize you meant movement of 3".

I met a couple a little while back where the wife grew up in Germany. They told me about the apprentice program there, and how they have to dress a certain way signifying their apprenticeship (I think this was a carpenter or mason), and that they have to do a certain amount of work, and I think they had to do it inexpensively as well. In fact, maybe they didn't get paid for it at all.

Sounds charming.

As for those in the US - unfortunately, we don't have any flexible pavements to study that are that old. There are some that are 100 years old or more, and I've seen and photographed a few, but they are in pretty rough shape.
