Premises at No.1 Eton Street and Scoria paving blocks in 'tenfoot' to rear of Nos.261-275 Hessle Road. Distinctive and richly textured blue-grey 'glassy' setts shaped in patterned moulds from the slag of smelted metal ore (known as scoria). Attractive shape and pattern comprising two conjoined floral-hexagons. Patented by Charles James Dobbs of Middlesbrough, 24 August 1886, No.10829. In nature, Scoria rocks are igneous rocks which were formed when lava cooled quickly above ground. Scoria is actually a kind of glass and not a mixture of minerals.
