Default Brick Matching

I'm knocking through a new window in my Victorian terrace and want to
put in a ledge that matches all the rest. Does anybody know if these
bricks are still in production:

Failing that any pointers to a good source of reclaimed one anywhere
near Oxfordshire or Somerset?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I'd be looking at a reclamation yard if I were you - try yellow pages or
