Sussex brickwork: Flemish bond
Image: © Stefan Czapski Taken: 30 May 2012
A sample of typical Wealden brickwork, seen in one of the 'twin cottages' south of Fisherstreet. In Flemish bond, 'stretchers' and 'headers' alternate - in other words, the bricks in a course are laid alternately lengthwise and end-on. Here, as so often in Surrey and Sussex, the stretchers are red, while the headers (most of them) are 'blue'.
