Hi Lauren English bond is alternate courses of stretcher bond followed by a course of headers, while the English cross bond has a king closure in the header course. Both are ideal for retaining garden walls and give wall strength and a nice look.

Gaetano · Answer

English bond in brick masonry has one course of stretcher only and a course of header above it, i.e. it has two alternating courses of stretchers and headers. Headers are laid centred on the stretchers in course below, and each alternate row is vertically aligned. Definition of English bond, a masonry bond in which courses consist alternately of headers and stretchers. For house build or walls, but the English bond is the strongest
