In 1989, Cox moved back to New York to work on his first major private commission in the U.S.: artist Jennifer Bartlett's three-level roof garden in Greenwich Village.
Cobbles are everywhere in the fishing village of Clovelly: they smother houses, garden walls and the steep lanes, giving the village the feel of flowing down the hill to the sea.
Those include a report last month of a man making anti-gay remarks and attacking a woman with a ketchup bottle at a Village diner and of two men walking arm-in-arm near Madison Square Garden being jumped by a group of men on May 5, police said.
Instead of rows of identical houses, each with a garage and a slice of garden at the front, the houses at Trinity Mead look like they have been transplanted from an English village.
