We are now selecting bricks for Mountbatten Park. The three house builders will not all do the same thing and during the course of construction it may be necessary to make changes responsive to availability or cost. The aim is to use local materials. The row of panels are all English bricks, the closest coming from Swanage.
The panel on its own is a Michelmersh brick so very local being made only six miles away. By way of illustration, this darker Hampshire Stock brick will be used on the house shown in the drawing. We are using a variety of traditional bonds and in some cases using burnt headers. This is illustrated in the drawing of terraced housing.
