... No.  "Aurora" was a Greek goddess ...
... don't want to nitpick, but actually she was roman goddes (of dawn) ...  ;D ... in greek mythology she was named Eos ...

Thanks!  It's nice that you older fellows who were actually there will help some of us younger guys sort out what we tried to learn in school.  ;D  -- Dallas

You can not beat a good bit of professional brick work - solid as a rock !

Can you say "patchwork quilt"?

Now I never would have thought that brickwork above the clapboards would be prototypical.   Goes to show there's a prototype for everything imaginable.
Nice photo.   Do you know where that is located?

I would say that the whole of that wall is timber framed and at one point it all  would have been wattle and daubed , or maybe lath and plastered . At some point the plaster failed and the bottom half was covered with weatherboard ( and not that long ago) and the plaster in  top panels was removed and infilled with brick ( badly) . The wall underneath the weatherboard could also be infilled with brick but obviously we can't tell from the photo .

  The whole lot is a mess and would take quite a bit of time and money to make it all look alright . Glad I'm not having to work on it .

That scene cries out to be modeled, perhaps as a diorama backdrop.

Nick,
That makes sense.   Otherwise, without the framing what else would support the brickwork.   
I do agree with the others about this making a good subject to model.

LMAO!!!

can we in America get some sub-titles?
I dont speak proper English.

Wattle and daub is the same term used here in the States.   Wattle is the branches/boards used behind the outside daub/plaster ( a very simplified explanation).

Translation and sub titles for all those who live on the other side of the water
Fish is what swims in the sea and chips is fries - a flue pipe is what things go up - and we walk on the pavement and cross the road or High street
a Supermarket is were you can purchase cheese-onion and bread rolls the main diet of an English man
a Wattle is what you can dab if it turns you on !
