Garden bed traditional edging bricks

Trying to picture exactly what you mean... and not getting anywhere very fast! Could you perhaps take a picture of an example, shove it on a website, and provide the group with a link to it?

Try Bulmer Brick, Bulmer, Essex 01787 269232 They make lots of different specials - all hand made so not cheap, but very attractive.

Have you tried all the architectural reclamation yards?

What I think you are after is called Path Edging. It comes in a variety of patternes, sizes etc. Try googling for "Path Edging", "Rope Top". A lot of builders merchants will stock them also garden centres

Yes, all still avaialable,new, like ghastly victiorain rope edging etc etc.

Try bradstone or marshalls paving web sites.

============== I believe they're called 'rope-top' ( as suggested by another poster) and I believe that they're in stock at Wickes.

Thanks for all the responses. That is indeed what I was looking for -- beautiful Victorian rope-top path edging.

Betjeman, thou shouldst be living at this hour ...

I think they are the ugliest crap the victorians ever made. On a par with gaiters for piano legs personally. In fact I find most victoriana extremely ugly. Apart from Art nouveau and William Moris etdc.
