Section of brick wall of a country cottage in central southern England. The construction is characterised by its use of local materials and craftsmen. It is built from local hand-made bricks - probably of the late 18th century, with typical surface irregularities giving a texture not found in machine-made bricks. This distinctive style of bricklaying with alternate stretchers and headers in a single brick course is known as Flemish Bond, and was popular in the Georgian period. The blue headers of some of these Berkshire orange bricks is a characteristic of the brick manufacturing process. Lime mortar was used originally in the jointing, but there is evidence of subsequent cement mortar mix pointing.
