Michael - all buildings move, all of the time - the nature of the beast - because we now glue bricks together with no flex - obvious we get cracks all over - bring back lime mortar I say... :p

What are we looking at in the second picture. if it's the wide joint, i would'nt of thought the bricks are laid on that.it looks more like the brickwork is slightly corbelled, for what ever reason and then someone has wacked something in there. Is it a rubberised sealant?
