kerbstones

Pavement boundary blocks

Kerbstones are the individual stone or concrete blocks that form a kerb—the raised edge separating a pavement from a roadway.

The word is British; Americans say curbstones.

The old kerbstones were cracked and uneven.

Workers replaced the damaged kerbstones along the high street.
