Some Nice Brickwork!

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! :)
