They're everywhere under our feet and if you watch for them, they can provide clues to how the area around you has developed. I'm talking about the contractors' stamps on the sidewalk. Most of the time they simply identify the company that laid that particular section of the sidewalk and when it was done. This allows the city to perform audits and to evaluate the quality of work by different contractors. Sometimes however there's something a little extra special. Like this stamp, which identifies a section of sidewalk laid by city staff in 1967, which incorporates Stuart Ash's iconic centennial logo. If you stop and think about it, this stamp tells you that this particular patch of sidewalk has been around and in use for almost 50 years!
