The railways around the part of East Yorkshire where I grew up were among the first to use slanted brick arches to allow existing roads to be crossed at an angle saving expensive re alignment of roads, previous to this bridges and tunnels had been largely symmetrical arches.

^^^ Actually not a great example, the track bed which was dismantled when I was two or three years old is now a public walk called the Hudson Way, who is believed to be no relation to me.

Most of the interesting properties round here are either timber framed, stone or plastered over so it's impossible to tell.

Shippams Were Here by Nigel Hayes, on Flickr

This was the Shippams Pastes factory from around 1912 to 2001, the building to the left is (IIRC) an H&M shop built somewhat more recently - something like the 90's I think.
