Name that block! - Can anyone identify this block pavoir?

[rosstingley]

Hi, can anyone help me identify this block? I need to find some more in order to patch in a few small areas of paving. Unfortunately there is no prize on offer, only the kudos of knowing more about it than me!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

i've got as far as its a zigzag block, returns image results in google but no supplier yet

there was a previous post about this block, answered by the now lesser spotted gaffer.

as i remember it is designed for greater interlock and hence greater trafficking/loads.

It's very similar to block by Tobermore called Toberloc. It's a civils block and not in the domestic brochure or website. A lot of these blocks are patents owned by American Firms and are manufactured by various companies over here under licence so they have the same dimensions but different colours. Even if it's not Tobermore it could be an exact match.

Scrub that I'm talking B#llocks the Toberloc is an L shaped block now. I laid a block like this from Tobermore about 5 years ago but they must have stopped production of it. Sorry for the bum steer.

I used to like shaped blocks. They use them in Italy still, often drive past the yards and look over at the displays, wistfully
