Textures

Venice

A .wad file created by Ido Magal of Valve Software and uploaded to the now-defunct GameSpy's Fileplanet service in 2002. This .wad contains textures that were apparently used for a scrapped Venice-themed map for the game. The readme file says:

These are textures I made for a CS Venice map I planned, 
but never executed.  So I'm sharing them, hoping 
someone will make some good use of them.  
So permission is hereby granted to use them 
for any (and ONLY) Half-Life-based mod.  
Don't be a putz; Give me a credit if you're 
gonna use them.

Included:

WAD with smaller sized textures.

TGAs of smaller sized textures.

TGAs of original double-size textures.

Maps

cs_cstle

A castle-themed map created by Dave Johnston, creator of both Dust maps. This map was planned to have stuff like a hill, a lake and two TV broadcast trucks as the terrorists' bomb targets, but these plans never came to be. Johnston then created de_cbble days after his previous map got rejected, using the same textures as cs_cstle, essentially making this map the predecessor to Cobble.
