brick work

Always add a dpc beneath the coping - this will protect the wall from water penetration around the joints in the coping. Flexible high bond impermeable materials are suitable for this lightly-loaded situation, but two courses of slate laid to break joint can also be used. Under brick cappings, slates or tiles can be used as a dpc (a separate flexible dpc should be included under tiles unless special dpc tiles are used). Slates and tile dpcs are also intended to shed rainwater clear of the wall and should project about 45 mm. In very sheltered areas (or when frost resistant materials are used throughout the wall) it is possible to use a rigid dpc with minimal overhang, or even just a flexible dpc.















Coping overhangs should be a minimum of 45 mm and be provided with a drip. In less exposed locations, or if frost resistant materials have been used throughout the wall, the need for protection against rainwater is not so great and smaller overhangs may be acceptable.

this is a stretcher bond sometimes called the running bond. this is th main structure used for half brick walls (or single skin walls),
thickness has very limited potential and is not considered stable above 725mm high, even in a very sheltered location.A wall on such a site should be no higher than 1925mm even if it is one brick thick (215mm), and in a very exposed location this drops to 1075mm
in this particular case this wall is in an urban area with many buildings shelding it so it is not often exposed to high winds. Designing for a worst case scenario would be uneconomic in most instances, but designing for an average exposure would be dangerous.

history of earlsfild (can be used to compare with earlsfield today)

1926 Reynoldson Clas Lived on 50 Dawnay road
the key feature in Earlsfield's early development was Robert Davis, who bought Elm Lodge, Allfarthing Lane in 1868 and named it earlsfield after his wife's maiden name 'Earl'. He obtained a further 59 acres in 1868 and began building shortly afterwards. Earlsfield Road was autised in 1878 and gave it name to the railway station (which opened in 1884) and the whole area. Magdalen road had been laid out i nthe late 1870s. Garret lane to swaby road was laid out between 1900 and 1906.
the area from fieldview to tilehurst was built over in 1933/4. wandsworth cemetery on magdalen road was openedin 1878.
Garret green school (now known as burntwood opened in 1958)
(this information was extracted from a book called 'wandsworth past' by Dorian Gerhold)
