The grass grew about the unpaved streets, and relieved the eye by its refreshing verdure.
"Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists"
Washington Irving
It was the practice, in those early days, to leave the center of a street unpaved, for the easier passage of carriages and horses; the consequence was, in flat streets the road became extremely dirty, almost impassable, and in a descent, the soil was quickly worn away, and left a causeway on each side.
"An History of Birmingham (1783)"
William Hutton
The unpaved road was heavy with dust, and the mare seemed to drag her feet through it unnecessarily as she jogged along.
"The Eye of Dread"
Payne Erskine
