Victorian greenhouse - a photo on Flickriver

Victorian greenhouse

            Our Victorian greenhouse project is now almost complete ✅.  
With its cast aluminium spandrels with cresting and finials all finished in old cottage green, it really does look like something special 🙌. 
For the brickwork the walls were constructed using farmhouse handmade reds , all laid in lime mortar. Traditional flemish bond on the side elevations and quarter bat bond below the cold frames, which went through a period of trending during the Victorian times but seems to be mostly obsolete now. 
The pointing was finish in a flush joint that was then gentle rubbed with hessian to bring the aggregate out to the surface, this pointing technique is also known to some as the Westminster smear. 
All that’s left is to lay the wrap around  catherdral grade flagstone paving and this greenhouse is ready to start producing 👌.
