I've noticed a few nice bits of brickwork when I struggle around the block... I think these patterns all have proper names in the building business and maybe somebody knows about them?

These bricks below are on the corner of The Drive and, I think,  Blake Road.  I think they look really lovely, and someone's gone to the trouble to create something a bit special.

And there's a couple more round the corner too.

Further up, going towards Muswell Hill, along Colney Hatch Lane, I came across these lovely brick arches at ground level,  patched together with all kinds of irregular stones.  I wonder how old these are? There's some drainage holes/pipes  in one of these.

                                                       

                                                                                                                                                                                                            

I swear I'm not trying to qualify for Most Boring Blog Page of the Year -  honestly!   :)

Ha Ha - The Manhole cover post has already been done here ... although aren't we supposed to call them Person Hole covers these days? ...
