    It's a worse picture to the back of the house. 


    Sorry the quotation pic has stuck.
    I'm presuming that's the face which sees the worst of the weather? The S&C mortar has caused the bricks to spall.

    If you're going to replace then look around for similar buildings being knocked down, FB marketplace, reclamation yards etc. If you knew the maker of the brick it'll help. Measure them, but I think they'll be an imperial 3 x 9" and highly likely to be locally made.

    Previously repointed bricks round the back, you can see the lime mortar showing through the grey cement pointing.
