The main body of bricks look like a stock brick i.e. Ibstock make a "Weston Red Multi Stock".
The red copings on top are a generic engineering standard with a drag face, i.e an Ibstock "Stratford Red Dragface".
They have used poor matching solids on the corners of the pillars and have likely used a similar brick to the coping reds at ground level.
The tile crease looks like it may have been done with a proper creasing tile as opposed to a standard double camber roof tile.
I don't know what mastic they used on the expansion joint but likely to be polysulphide mastic.
The tree behind the wall is a deciduous, fast growing.....only kidding!

Few questions:
1. We've just had planning approval granted and I'm likely to go with a builder friend of mine. However I know very little about how to look for good quality workmanship etc and your response on this and the other tile thread had got me thinking. Is there a brick selector website that you know of or can recommend?
2. In the close up 2nd pic, is the two tone colour effect natural or are they actually two types / colours of the same brick?
3. Is the blackish/bluish spots environmental wear or again decorative?
4. What do you mean by the poorly matching solids and the tile creases? What is he purpose of putting tiles in a brick wall?
5. What would you estimate as the per metre square cost of a two skin brick wall like this?
Gracias.
