Charlestown, part of Boston, Mass., is located northeast of Boston proper on a peninsula between the Charles River and the Mystic River. Charlestown was planned in 1629 by Thomas Graves, an English engineer, and centered around Market Square, now called City Square. The June 17, 1775 Battle of Bunker Hill was fought nearby, though actually on Breed’s Hill.
All this history is relevant because some locals have been uncovering the old paving stones in ?EUR??,,????'??Coffin Alley,” a 40 feet long and 15-18 feet wide area a half block from City Square. Residents used to park here but are foregoing the spaces to allow restoration of the old street. The Boston Globe reports the stones are ?EUR??,,????'??shaped like swollen pancakes?EUR??,,????'?? with the edge of each stone broken off to create more flat surfaces, a kind of cobblestone hybrid that the locals (called ?EUR??,,????'??Townies?EUR??,,????'??) are unfamiliar with.
The old brownstones here were built in 1865 and it?EUR??,,????'???s believed the road was also built then.
