The White Lion Inn at Wherwell - end elevation, showing 'header bond'

Uploader's Comments

Looking at the end-wall of the pub I noticed something odd about the brickwork: all the bricks (with very few exceptions) are laid so that their ends are exposed - a method of brick-laying known as 'header bond'. As far as I could make out, header bond was used for the whole pub, as originally built, though not for certain repairs.
