Yes, thanks. The FLB Selected Darks are the nearest I have found so far but they are not the same, they are too red, ours have more buff/yellow, and more colour variation. I suppose it is possible that our bricks are not actually made anymore.
 
The old West Hoathlys were very similar to FLs although contained more darker ones and were slightly harder burnt.

Generically speaking they are of the 'stock' family. If you research stock bricks, you are bound to find a manufacturer with a suitable brick.
 
I spotted these which look not too dissimilar to ours, can anyone identify these .....

Thanks, I am aware that they are stocks but which ones specifically ?
The Ibstock Chailey that Noseall mentioned look like the ones in your garden wall picture, bricks never look exactly the same, different mortar colours affect how the bricks look, plus yours will have weathered over time.

Most of the old Sussex brickworks produced similar stock bricks, as they were in the same clay belt. Even from the same company some batches are darker than others. The lighter coloured ones are much easier to cut.
