Walling<br />

contributes to the overall character<br />

and appearance of the <strong>Conservation</strong><br />

<strong>Area</strong>. There are a range of boundary<br />

treatments within <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> and a<br />

notable variation between the eastern<br />

and western parts of the <strong>Conservation</strong><br />

<strong>Area</strong>.<br />

7.35 The original brick walling that remains<br />

as a boundary to some properties to<br />

the western part is generally tall for<br />

a front boundary (approx. 1.8m). This<br />

is because it is either a retaining wall<br />

(as in the case of The Coach House) or<br />

forms a part of old farm buildings (as<br />

at The Old Dairy and The River Barn).<br />

These walls are generally a reddish/<br />

orange brick in a Flemish bond with<br />

brick on end coping and subtle pointing<br />

which blends with the background.<br />

7.36 To the eastern part of the <strong>Conservation</strong><br />

<strong>Area</strong> the original boundary walls are<br />

lower and of an orangy/red brick. The<br />

predominant bond is English Garden<br />

Wall, but there are also examples of<br />

Monk bond (a type of Flemish Bond).<br />

The walls include some form of coping<br />

and the pointing is generally subtle.<br />

7.37 <strong>Holdenhurst</strong> formerly contained a<br />

number of farmsteads (as Figure<br />

5 shows) and part of the old brick<br />

walls to Dales Farm, Brinton’s Farm<br />

and Bank’s Farm are still evident in<br />

places (illustrated in Figure 13). The<br />
