Paving bricks are always a hard brick in order to cope with wear and weather and tend to be thinner than a standard walling brick. What we call a Victorian Paviour (or pavior or paver) tends to be a mix of reds and oranges with some dark overtones, but there are, of course, many variations.
We also keep in stock a reproduction paviour with a smooth but slightly pitted surface which will weather down beautifully.
Stable bricks (also called Crossovers) are normally ‘Staffordshire blue’ (blue/purple/almost black) in colour with a surface that is commonly divided into two, four or eight squares, although occasionally a diamond pattern. Some Red Kiln, Wirecut and Engineering bricks can be used for paving, indeed we often get reclaimed batches in with an already worn and weathered surface.
This is only a selection of our range, much more in stock at our yard.
Please note we are unable to update our website on a daily basis so please contact us to check stock and availability.
For ease of identification our bricks are often named after the site they have been salvaged from.
