Sorry, I forget how international everyone is: York stone is a very common
(and expensive) heavy paving stone - these ones are about three inches (8
cm) deep. These are laid on sand and bonded with cement. The tiles are
ceramic and laid on cement. The cement therefore bonds the stones and tiles
to the (brick) walls of the building.
