A
garden wall encloses your land, creating a boundary around your home.
Older garden walls that surrounded period properties would have been
made from local materials. A mix of brick, flint, slate or stone could
have been used.
Once
railways were used to distribute bricks all over the country, walls
became mass produced and more uniformed in colour and style.

If
you are thinking about rebuilding or modifying a party wall (A wall
is a "party wall" if it stands astride the boundary of land
belonging to two or more different owners). Do discuss your plans with
your affected neighbour's and local building control officer.
