- iDemonix 7y agoAnd many other parts of the UK. I've seen a fair amount in both Oxford and Nottingham.

- jaclaz 7y agoOnly for the record, there is a "modern" material, called "glass block" since the '50's or '60's, the one in your photos seem like it (and there is no "prism" like the kind described in the main article) that can be used also for walls.
