Houses of Lackham 2 nd ed 60
Fig. 45 Terrace and ha-ha (dashed line) 73 **
The profile of the terraces reveals a totally different construction
method ( Fig. 46 below).
Here a layer of concrete, which is dark in colour and appears to include
fire clinker and small rounded pebbles, was used as a foundation. It varies
in depth, in the sections exposed it ranged between 5 cms and 16 cms. On
top of this there are two layers of red brick laid in English bond and the
blocks of the terrace walls are placed on top of the bricks. These blocks
are mortared. The transverse section in Fig. 46 shows the ornamental
relief of the terraces, commonly found on terraces in the area.
