I just got hold of a copy oif "Segmental & Elliptical Oblique or Skew Arches" by G J Bell. It contains a set of photographs of an arch being built which are available here. There should be a NEXT button beside the pic.
There has been some talk on CEHX recently about cast iron columns. Bob Lamb had these photographs of a recovered column from Stanley Dock in Liverpool (1848).
I suspect that the brick is fill rather than an original core but I might be wrong.
