Porcelain Side Return with Brick Walling

A side-return path in dark porcelain paving, framed by new red-brick walls with a smart brick-on-edge coping, a linear drainage channel set into the paving, and steps up to a rear entrance.

A tight side return is a real test of setting-out — the paving, the walls, the drainage channel and the steps all have to line up in a narrow space. Here JRB Builds combined brickwork and porcelain paving with a proper drainage channel to turn an awkward passage into a clean, usable route.
