Church, 402 Old Northern Rd

This church is interesting as it has a mix of structural and non-structural brickwork. Concrete is used in the main formation such as the spire where the cross sits. It is also evident where the stairs in the middle of the image are, but the room on the right is pure masonry (I have entered it and inspected it) and thus this building is quite unique. The builders have used rake joints and stretcher bonds, with half bricks on top of the wall. They have also used the English bond with every second half brick missing, creating holes in the entry way (the middle left of the image). The bricks are shades and tints of cream and the bricks are weathered (this church is over 60 years old). Multiple weep holes are present yet have not created black ‘runs’ like in the shops of Terminus St.
