I've really struggled to find anything suitable but I guess I'm looking for plasticard or embossed sheet of some sort that I could use for cobbled streets for my 15mm figures. I don't mind it being under scale (hence 1:144) but not over scale ie not 4mm/ft or 1:72.

I've looked in dozens of model railway shops but drawn a blank so far.

Any ideas?

In the States, Lemax has Christmas scenics on sale in craft stores. This should not be a poblem for the UK, since Lemax is an Australian company.
Anyway, here we have a lot of special Christmas terrain items, including the 24" x 24" LEmax mats, and 4" wide roads in a roll.

If you want to use card, I have seen German HO scale stone WALLS, which you could lie down, instead of standing up. grin

Thanks all – There's a UK dealer for Precision Products and they're not too far form me either.

And roads too – cool. Any pics of the cobble square?

I'll see if I can get one sorted – Chas s supposed to be doing me a bunch of photos this week (if we don't get too busy)

Timmo – Faller do an embossed card sheet of cobbles (actually several, with different patterns) which is what I've chosen to use for 15mm. They're actually HO (1/87) but work with 15mm to my eye. link
There are plenty of others too. Some of these will be simply printed pattern: link

QRF's product sounds handy too.

Those Faller sheets look great as well – seems I have some options. Thanks.

9th item on Antenociti's 'Sheet Materials' is Pebbles, might work for you too.

Timmo,

A bit late but if it helps: link

Good bunch to do business with, and you can always ask if you don't see what you want.
