One piece of old wall left standing at the southern end of what is now Sainsbury's car park in the "north end" of Northallerton. I am curious as to the value of including brick courses amongst the cobbles. It could be that the wall was built in stages and the brick courses were to ensure it was built level. John Webb adds (though this is not a flint-based wall): "The brickwork is included to strengthen the wall and link through from one side to the other. Flint-based walls need this strengthening to ensure they stand upright, as basically they are a heap of stones being held together by mortar - usually lime mortar rather than more modern cement."
