Bricks as Image. No.7~

St Francis and St Joseph, 463 Oxford Street Paddington

Herring-bone pattern and arch above entrance. Deep red brick with dark grey mortar

Curved bricks used to form a circular arch for a circular window.  

Bricks have been used to produce a venetian arch above windows.  Bricks have also been extruded to create a bold image and design on a otherwise flat wall.

Some parts of the brickwork has been redone in more recent years and seems to have flushed white mortar rather than the original raked mortar.  The Flemish Bond has been kept throughout the building.
