IMO, and as someone who has experience with fashions/fads within the

architecture. A solid brick wall with the same course and brick type will
always look good.
Which reminds me to comment on this recently built front garden
wall which seems quite out of scale for its position:

Clearly built as a planter, though even now not much "softened by
the planting". It reminds me of the sort of thing that would be
constructed to deflect car-bombers outside embassies.
The property to the left has a cottage-garden feel, and always
has something of interest to see.
the property to the left also demonstrates how much better bricks look
when partially covered by plants :-)
