Re-surfacing an old back passage

[Panmure]

Hi,
I've got an ally around the back of the house, 15m long by 1m wide. It's made of shattered concrete and soil and looks a mess.

Any tips for a cheap resurfacing? It's behind an old house in a natural stone area so anything i do needs to be in keeping.

Seen any bargain flagging or any tips on concreting (will this look ok?) and even dying the concrete?

Thanks

cheapest way........get an itinerant tarmacker to chuck half a ton of blackstuff over it

hmm, not sure that'd go with the slate walls, although the price is right

I was thinking of normal concrete but with something cunning done at the end - like insetting slate chippings before it goes off so that there's an embedded coating on the surface...
