Default fire ash
The message
from contains these words:

In my youth, Dad used coke/coal ash instead of sand when mixing
cement. I wonder if the slightly purple paths he laid still exist?

Granddad's garden paths were made of cinders.

That sounds like the original recipe for "Breeze blocks" (spelling?)
Concrete blocks for building made from ash and clinker mixed with sand
and cement (I think).
