Default Website with pictures/ ideas for brick walls?

Hi there,

We're looking to get a brick wall built in the front garden - it's a 9 metre
long wall, so we're thinking of a 3 foot wall with 4-5 columns, with
iron-work in between and iron gates.

We've looked around the local neighbourhood for ideas, but wonder if anyone
knows of a good website with photos of brick walls that might serve for
inspiration? Have Googled for this but can't seem to find anything. We're
just looking to see different types of bricks, brickwork, iron-work etc so
help us decide what we want and what will suit the house.

Thanks for any help,

Stephen

Here's a picture of the brickwork of the house: http://tinyurl.com/q5gjt
There's no other brick features of note.

Any ideas on a site that has lots of pictures for ideas?

Thanks,

Stephen

Try other things like railings etc for other keyword searches that
might inspire.

If you don't want the kids sitting on the wall tben bear that in mind
too.

That's inspiring but almost certainly not good for the liver!

Thanks for this! :-)

Another source I've found is the local estate agents websites! This is like
walking around the neighbourhood from home! :-)

Thanks,

Stephen
