A brick mystery. I came across this unusual use of curved bricks to form the base of a window opening on a very old building while out for a walk in Littleport in Cambridgeshire. Maybe I’m being a bit dim but I can’t find an example of anything else like this on line. There are examples of slightly curved bricks out there but the curve on these has a much tighter radius. (1/2)

This is a similar idea, used as a corbel to throw the rainwater gutter clear of the wall.

Also, four of those quadrants could be used to create a little clerestorey window opening.

@lionelb Thanks - had no idea the world of specially shaped bricks was so varied and interesting!
