John, You don't have to go too far, go to the alleyway next to The Raven.
I also remember Ollie saying there are still some patches left at Nutgrove. Posted Image

Thanks or should i say "tar" to everyone who has pointed out where i can still find cobbles,iv'e decided that it's far to dangerous to look for tar bubbles due to the volume of traffic on the roads,i suppose i could wear my high visibility vest.

Unfortunately, it's no longer the case in Reservoir Street :( - 'they've' been and resurfaced the road with fresh tar. It's now looking very pristine and shiny black -and also very souless :rolleyes:.
