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.

@lopta Thanks - very interesting. I noticed these hard engineering blue bricks (I think they were used on Victorian railway viaducts). I don’t know much about bricks but I vaguely remember once reading that these were in demand as reclaimed bricks because no new ones were being made but that’s obviously no longer the case!
