Doing an extension to side of the house and trying to match the brick type but of course it went end of production over 10years ago. Would anyone have any advice on if there is somewhere to still source an old brick like this or any recomendations on a good match please? Its a red/orange brick. I have rang nearly every provider in Ireland and UK. Orignal brick name was "Ormonde Meadow Blend". Thanks

Salvage yards are your best bet.

Google lens was a good idea. I was in Outhaus but they didn't have anything fairly close to a match
