The stone makes a fine looking pattern with its various sizes and colors.

I have no experience with walls like this. How do you know it is mended? Because some of the rocks are a different color? It makes a wonderful textured pattern.

Hello Taken for Granted. The walls and cobbled roads round here provide wonderful patterns to look at.

Hello Susan. I'm making the assumption that this wall has been repaired because of the different colour of the stones. I can't think of another reason for the difference but I might be wrong.

The black on everything, even in the countryside, is, I think, residue from the soot belched out by masses of factory chimneys in the area when it was a centre for carpet weaving and other (wool) cloth industries.
